numayan muntaha-e-sai-e-paiham hoti jati hai
tabiat be-niyaz-e-har-do-alam hoti jati hai

uthi jati hai dil se haibat-e-alam-e-ruhani
jarahat bahr-e-qalb-e-zar marham hoti jati hai

kinara kar raha hai ruh se haijaan-e-sartabi
ki gardan justuju ke shauq mein kham hoti jati hai

junun ka chha raha hai zindagi par ek dhundalka sa
khirad ki raushni sine mein maddham hoti jati hai

nasim-e-be-niyazi aa rahi hai baam-e-gardun se
urus-e-muddaa ki zulf barham hoti jati hai

numayan ho chala hai ek jahan chashm-e-tasawwur par
nazar shayad harif-e-saghar-e-jam hoti jati hai

girah yun khul rahi hai har nafas zauq-e-tamasha ki
ki har adna si shai ab ek aalam hoti jati hai

faza mein kanpti hain dhundli dhundli nuqrai shaklen
har ek takhil-e-pakiza mujassam hoti jati hai

na jaane sina-e-ehsas par ye hat hai kis ka
tabiat be-niyaz-e-shadi-o-gham hoti jati hai

samajh mein aaen kya barikiyan qanun-e-qudrat ki
ibaadat kasrat-e-mani se mubham hoti jati hai

khajil tha jis ki shorish se talatum bahr-e-hasti ka
mere dil mein wo halchal 'josh' ab kam hoti jati hai
