niyaz-o-ijz mujhe naz-e-sang-e-dar se mila
ba-qadr-e-zarf mila jo teri nazar se mila

talash-e-manzil-e-maqsud raegan na gai
nishan-e-jada-e-manzil rah-e-khatar se mila

tere khayal-o-tasawwur ki shokhiyon ki qasam
khirad ko jama-e-wahshat teri nazar se mila

supurd-e-barq-o-sharar kar ke aashiyan-e-wafa
payam-e-soz-e-tamanna teri nazar se mila

bisat-e-dahr ulat di nigah-e-ulfat ne
koi ishaara jahan chashm-e-mo'atabar se mila

jahan-e-aish-o-masarrat pe muskuraunga
gham-e-zamana jo mujh ko teri nazar se mila

had-e-yaqin mein to ab aa gae ho ai 'mahir'
khabar hai husn-e-takallum ye kis ke dar se mila
