kya khabar hai na mile phir koi shisha aisa
khud ko chhute hue darta hun shikasta aisa

sabza-e-lams pe badhta hua lamha lamha
sust-rau shoala-e-tufan-e-tamanna aisa

ab na dastak mein sada hai na hai zanjir mein shor
band ab tak na hua tha dar-e-tauba aisa

sans ke sath lapakta hai tah-e-mauj-e-khayal
kis ne boya tha mere jism mein shoala aisa

sar se tapka jo shajar ke to zamin bhi na mili
ab ke ek barg-e-jawan shakh se tuta aisa

aks ko naqsh to jazbe ko karun para-e-rang
kal ke aaine se jhankega na chehra aisa

ab to zanjir-e-talluq hai na wo rishta-e-dard
main wo khush-bakht ki paya hai zamana aisa
