nazar udas nazare khamosh dil bezar
junun-e-shauq ye manzil hai ya ki rahguzar

na josh-e-atish-e-gul hai na khauf-e-barq-o-sharar
nai nai si asiri nai nai si bahaar

zara si baat bani ek fasana aakhir-e-kar
meri nigah ki shokhi teri nazar ka khumar

gham-e-hayat ke mare abhi to soe hain
abhi na de ai nasim-e-sahar nawed-e-bahaar

gham-e-jahan gham-e-justuju gham-e-jaanan
kahan kahan na mila ek shikasta dil ko qarar

teri hi yaad sahaara diye rahi warna
kahan guzarte hain tanhaiyon mein lail-o-nahaar

tere baghair andheron mein kho gae jalwe
teri nazar se farozan the aarzu ke dayar

na intizar-e-sahar ab hai aur na wada-e-sham
ki rah gaya hai khalaon pe zindagi ka madar

na puchh kaisa ye aalam hua hai wahshat mein
gulon ki aanch se bujhne lage hain dil ke sharar
