mat jaaniye paikar mein bas naz-o-ada ka
aurat mein hai dam marka-e-jaur-o-jafa ka

manzil pe pahunch sakte nahin aise musafir
har gam pe ho khauf jinhen aabla-pa ka

har dard ka darman hai sharab-e-gham-e-ulfat
ek ghunt mein hum pite hain ek jam shifa ka

main sun ke jise laut gai beach safar se
manus sada thi ki wo dhoka tha sada ka

benam-o-nishan barg si aawara-e-manzil
kuchh mujh pe karam shakh ka kuchh zor hawa ka

sahra-e-mohabbat hai sarabon ka tasalsul
hasil hai faqat tishnagi 'resham' ki wafa ka
