nafas-e-arzu hai shoala-taraaz
soz-e-ehsas teri umr daraaz

khush hain kha kar fareb-e-'ishwa-e-naz
kis qadar sada-dil hain ahl-e-niyaz

ban gai gardish-e-jahan ki harif
husn ki ek nigah-e-fitna-taraaz

nam sunte hi aashiyane ka
laut aai hai taqat-e-parwaz

khalish-e-dil badha gai kuchh aur
aap ki chashm-e-iltifat-nawaz

kahin ye un ki rah-guzar to nahin
jhuk padi hai 'ghani' jabin-e-niyaz

ek hi saz ke hain do naghme
meri khamoshi aap ki aawaz
