na kisi ko fikr-e-manzil na kahin suragh-e-jada
ye ajib karwan hai jo rawan hai be-irada

yahi log hain azal se jo fareb de rahe hain
kabhi dal kar naqaben kabhi odh kar labaada

mere roz-o-shab yahi hain ki mujhi tak aa rahi hain
tere husn ki ziyaen kabhi kam kabhi ziyaada

sar-e-anjuman taghaful ka sila bhi de gai hai
wo nigah jo dar-haqiqat thi nigah se ziyaada

ho bara-e-sham-e-hijran lab-e-naz se farozan
koi ek sham-e-paiman koi ek charagh-e-wada
