milta jo koi TukDa is charKH-e-zabarjad mein

milta jo koi tukda is charkh-e-zabarjad mein
paiwand laga deta main nafs-e-mujarrad mein
bedari-e-furqat mein tha ramz qayamat ka
jaga hun ki nind aae tariki-e-marqad mein


is daftar-e-hasti mein talim bahut kam hai
do harf nazar aae dibacha-e-abjad mein
go khak ka putla hun lekin koi kya samjhe
main bhi koi shai hun jo gardun hai meri kad mein


hai zabt ki farmaish is dil se bahut beja
ye qulzum-e-la-sahil kis tarah rahe had mein
pahlu mein nahin dil to dil-soz hi aa jata
ek shama to jal jati tariki-e-marqad mein


nalon se ye kahta hun himmat se na dil haaren
taron ne jagah kar li is lauh-e-zamurrad mein
