mere dard ki kahani tere jaur ka fasana
hai lahu-tarang naghma ye nashat-gin tarana

mere ham-jalis phulo mere ham-nawa anadil
teri tahniyon pe kal tak tha mera gharib-khana

main muqim-e-gulsitan hun mujhe jaante nahin ho
abhi chaar din hue hain ki jala hai aashiyana

tu sitam-nasib tair kahan jaega faza se
ki mataa-e-baghban ab hai chaman ka aab-o-dana

badi mushkilon se daulat ye lagi hai hath tujh ko
kahin lut na jae pyare tera qimti khazana

na to kaf hai khun mein tar na gawahiyan mayassar
mere mehrban mubarak ye qital-e-mahirana

kaho bijliyon se ja kar ki wo aaen zid se meri
main rakhunga is chaman mein yahin apna aashiyana

wo khizan ke roz-o-shab the jo bahaar se the behtar
ki gharaz se be-gharaz tha 'sahar' apna dostana
