pareshan hai sitamgar hausla gum ho gaya hai
gulon mein khanjar-e-dast-e-jafa gum ho gaya hai

nihan hai ek nuqte mein nizam-e-zindagani
wajud-e-harf to hai tarjuma gum ho gaya hai

chale aao hamari khushbuon ke raste par
agar shahr-e-mohabbat ka pata gum ho gaya hai

zamanat mein kisi ki de diya hai mutmain hain
jahaz-e-arzu udta hua gum ho gaya hai

andhera ho gaya tha sahn-e-sajda mein hamare
jabin se nayyar-e-khak-e-shifa gum ho gaya hai

qaside husn-e-yusuf ke jo ab tak padh raha tha
jamal-e-ashk mein wo aaina gum ho gaya hai

nigah-e-chashm-e-irfan-o-shuur-e-agahi de
yahan hum aql walon ka khuda gum ho gaya hai

tumhaari sarhad-e-imkan chhune ko gaya tha
hamara tair-e-fikr-e-rasa gum ho gaya hai
