muddaten ho gai hota nahin phera tera
tair-e-hosh kahan ab hai basera tera

chhawni dal ke duniya mein rahega kab tak
kheme rah jaenge uth jaega dera tera

rahti hai shams-o-qamar ko tere sae ki talash
raushni dhundhti phirti hai andhera tera

khae jati hai abhi shoala-mizaji ai shama
din se pahle hua jata hai sawera tera

phad kar phenkte hain jama-e-hasti ko samet
le junun hum ne ye saman bikhera tera

main hi tera hun to phir kya kahun mera kya hai
tu hi mera hai to phir kis liye mera tera

dekhna 'natiq'-e-shorida ko pheri wale
kucha-e-yar mein ho ab ke jo phera tera
