rakh di uda ke khak-e-bayaban kabhi kabhi
ras aa gaya hai gosha-e-zindan kabhi kabhi

lae hain hum buton pe bhi iman kabhi kabhi
qalb-o-nazar hue hain musalman kabhi kabhi

chhai hai khak-e-shahr-e-nigaran kabhi kabhi
dekha unhen qarib-e-rag-e-jaan kabhi kabhi

nalon ka tha karishma ki aah-e-rasa ka faiz
wa ho gaya hai khud dar-e-zindan kabhi kabhi

aql-e-fareb-kar se karta hai mashware
dhata hai kya sitam dil-e-nalan kabhi kabhi

zabt-e-alam hai ishq mein shart-e-wafa magar
aae hain ashk bhi sar-e-mizhgan kabhi kabhi

ek shor-e-hashr ho gaya mai-khanon mein bapa
saghar se hai utha mere tufan kabhi kabhi

tauf-e-harim-e-naz-e-butan mein kati hai umr
kaba ke bhi bane hain nigahban kabhi kabhi

dekha hai ye bhi main ne ba-faiz-e-junun 'munir'
aatish-kada bana hai gulistan kabhi kabhi
