qamar ki wo khurshid taswir hai
gale mein sitaron ki zanjir hai

kahan pa-e-jaanan kahan mera sar
ye tale ye qismat ye taqdir hai

khafa aap se aap hote ho kyun
bata do jo kuchh meri taqsir hai

na kholo khat us ka dhadakta hai dil
khuda jaane kya is mein tahrir hai

numayan hai qaus-e-quzah abr mein
misi par likhaute ki tahrir hai

munasib hai kuchh kha ke mar jao 'barq'
yahi dard-e-furqat ki tadbir hai
