meri khak nur hi nur hai ki harif-e-jalwa-e-tur hai
dil-e-be-qarar mein tu ne kya ye charagh-e-ishq jala diya

mujhe fikr-e-daur-e-khizan ho kya ki main na-shanas-e-bahaar hun
gham-e-dil ka shukr-guzar hun mujhe dars-e-zist sikha diya

hai natija-khez meri fughan ki ye dil-jalon ki hai dastan
karen anjuman mein agar bayan to jahan mein hashr utha diya

jo jahan mein naqsh-e-jamil hai teri shokhiyon ka qatil hai
ye to khel-e-rabb-e-jalil hai ki bana ke khud hi mita diya

jise ishq kahte hain haq-nigar meri khalwaton ka hai chaaragar
kisi dil ke saz ko chhed kar koi naghma us ne suna diya

ho khamosh ab to fasana-khwan nahin achchha sabr ka imtihan
ki suna ke dard ki dastan kisi gham-zada ko rula diya

main hun ek ‘saib’-e-be-nawa mera dil hai kitna bujha hua
jo kabhi tha main ne suna hua tere ishq ne wo dikha diya
