naqd-e-jaan ki mere saughat abhi baqi hai
shab-e-hijran ki mudaraat abhi baqi hai

dhup mein tark-e-marasim ki jhulasne wale
aakhiri sham-e-mulaqat abhi baqi hai

khaliq-e-kaun-o-makan hum se nahin hai naraaz
gardish-e-arz-o-samawat abhi baqi hai

waqt ki dhup mein khoe mere nashshe kitne
ek teri chashm-e-kharabaat abhi baqi hai

roz-e-awwal se ajal khel rahi hai shatranj
mujh ko shah ho bhi chuki mat abhi baqi hai

chandni par hai tumhein rang-e-sahar ka dhoka
gul na kar dena diye raat abhi baqi hai

har ghazal ki mujhe takmil pe mahsus hua
dil mein kahne ko koi baat abhi baqi hai
