parsai un ki jab yaad aaegi
mujh se meri aarzu sharmaegi

gar yahi hai pas-e-adab-e-sukut
kis tarah fariyaad lab tak aaegi

ye to mana dekh aaen ku-e-yar
phir tamanna aur kuchh farmaegi

jaane de sabr o qarar o hosh ko
tu kahan ai be-qarari jaegi

hijr ki shab gar yahi hai iztirab
nind ai 'taslim' kyunkar aaegi
