mere rone par kisi ki chashm giryan hae hae
wo gul-e-tar wo faza-e-shabnamistan hae hae

wo kisi ki yaad-e-paiham sham-e-hijran hae hae
har nafas waqf-e-nawa-ha-e-pareshan hae hae

dil pe dard-e-ishq ka ek ek ehsan hae hae
jaan ki surat mein koi dushman-e-jaan hae hae

subh-e-hijran bad-tar-az-shab-ha-e-hijran hae hae
zindagi ek mustaqil khwab-e-pareshan hae hae

dil ki rahat ke liye un ki mohabbat ke liye
koshish-e-be-sud phirta hadd-e-imkan hae hae

meri khatir aur wo majburiyon ka e'tiraf
un ke nazuk dil ko bhi ehsas-e-hijran hae hae

kaifiyat-e-sajda-e-zauq-e-mohabbat al-aman
kaba-e-dil be-niyaz-e-kufr-o-iman hae hae

wo mera kaif-e-nazar wo be-khudi wo sarkhushi
fursat-e-nazzara-ha-e-husn-e-jaanan hae hae

un ki mahfil mein bhi hun daman-kash-e-wahshat-ba-dil
har jagah ek aalam-e-adab-e-zindan hae hae

yas ki maujon mein har manzar ka aakhir dubna
dil se wo uthta hua tufan-e-hirman hae hae

jo na samjhen dard kya hai dard ka ehsas kya
kab tak un ke waste 'basit' ghazal-khwan hae hae
