pahlu mein dil hai dard-e-mohabbat liye hue
baitha hun kaenat ki daulat liye hue

is husn-e-ishwa-gar se farishte na bach sake
hai aadmi to phir bashariyyat liye hue

allah re ghubar guzargah-e-yar ka
hai zarra zarra tur ki azmat liye hue

hogi qubul dawar-e-mahshar ye pesh-kash
aaya hun main mataa-e-nadamat liye hue

hon baryab-e-bazm wo saat kab aaegi
muddat guzar chuki hai ijazat liye hue

haalanki muskuraate hain wo waqt-e-guftugu
lahja magar hai saf kudurat liye hue

mar kar bhi gul-rukhon se judai na ho saki
phulon ka dher hai meri turbat liye hue

gumnam tha to kunj-e-qanaat nasib tha
phirti hai chaar-su meri shohrat liye hue

har gosha mere qalb ka maidan-e-hashr hai
hai mukhtasar makan ye wusat liye hue

nale nikal ke dil se agar arsh tak gae
jaenge ai falak ye teri chhat liye hue

ek hur-wash ke kuche ka 'sabir' hai dil pe naqsh
baitha hun main kanar mein jannat liye hue
