lab na apne kabhi aaluda-e-fariyaad rahe
hum hujum-e-gham-o-alam mein bhi shad rahe

kar-e-tamir-e-nasheman na ruke jurat-e-shauq
baghban lakh take ghat mein sayyaad rahe

zulf-e-hasti ko bahar-rang sanwara hum ne
ye alag baat ki hum khasta-o-barbaad rahe

dil ko tadpati hai bite hue lamhat ki yaad
kash aisa ho ke ab kuchh na mujhe yaad rahe

wusaton mein teri bhula hun main tanhai ko
dasht-e-wahshat mere duniya teri aabaad rahe

kis qadar khun hua nazr-e-bahaar-e-gulshan
ham-safiro ye chaman kash ab aabaad rahe

ranj-o-gham ki na kadi dhup kabhi un pe padi
chhanw mein jo teri zulfon ki rahe shad rahe

apne is fidwi-e-gulshan ko bhi jab aae bahaar
yaad kar lena chaman walo agar yaad rahe

sab hawadis rah-e-manzil ke guzar len mujh par
karwan ke liye baqi na kuchh uftad rahe

qissa-e-dard main kis dil se sunaun 'qasid'
sun ke ahwal mera kyon koi nashad rahe
