nala-e-gham shoala-asar chahiye
chaak-e-dil ab ta-ba-jigar chahiye

kitne mah-o-najm hue nazr-e-shab
ai gham-e-dil ab to sahar chahiye

manzilen hain zer-e-kaf-e-pa magar
ek zara azm-e-safar chahiye

aaina-khane mein hai darkar kya
chahiye ek sang agar chahiye

dur hai dil manzil-e-gham se hanuz
ek ghalat andaz-e-nazar chahiye

tishnagi-e-lab ka taqaza hai ab
baada ho ya zahr magar chahiye
