kuchh taghayyur mere ahwal-e-pareshan mein nahin
aise aalam mein hun jo aalam-e-imkan mein nahin

subh-e-mahshar bhi dikhai nahin deti yarab
roz-e-bad bhi to nasib-e-shab-e-hijran mein nahin

wahshat-e-ishq ko sabit-qadami bhi hai zarur
qais ka naqsh-e-qadam tak to bayaban mein nahin

ho gaya zauq faza-e-khalish-e-yaad-e-mizha
kaun kahta hai ki lazzat tere paikan mein nahin

dasht-e-wahshat mein ude phirte hain aaram se hum
jo sifat zoaf mein hai takht-e-sulaiman mein nahin
