rujua banda ki hai is tarah khuda ki taraf
phire zamir-e-khabar jaise mubtada ki taraf

baid kya hai murawwat se teri ai shah-e-husn
nigah-e-lutf se dekhe jo tu gada ki taraf

kahan wo zulf kahan khun-e-nafa-e-ahu
jo mushk samjhe hain wo log hain khata ki taraf

ulajh ke shane se khata hai saikdon jhatke
qusur se ye tere gesu-e-rasa ki taraf

khuda ne dard-e-mohabbat ata kiya hai jise
use tawajjoh-e-khatir nahin dawa ki taraf

mala jo tum ne lahu dast-o-pa mein aashiq ka
na hoga mel tabiat ko phir hina ki taraf

karega yar meri jang-e-ghair mein imdad
jo aashna hain wo hote hain aashna ki taraf

firaq-e-yar mein rahta hai yun tasawwur-e-gor
khayal jaise musafir ka ho sara ki taraf

na hoga ham-safar-e-ruh paikar-e-khaki
ye su-e-arz-e-rawan hoga wo sama ki taraf

bahut kharab raha but-kade mein ai 'atish'
khuda-parast hai chal khana-e-khuda ki taraf
