ruswa hue baghair na naz-e-butan utha
jab ho gae subuk to ye bar-e-giran utha

mani mein kar talash maash-e-dil-o-dimagh
haiwan-sifat na lazzat-e-kaam-o-dahan utha

gar khanda yaad aae to sine ko chaak kar
gar ghamza yaad aae to zakhm-e-sinan utha

ya aankh utha ke chashm-e-fusun-saz ko na dekh
ya umr-bhar masaib-e-daur-e-zaman utha

us anjuman mein jaiye ab kis umid par
hum baithne na pae ki wo bad-guman utha

be-yaad-e-dost umr-e-girami na sarf kar
us ganj-e-shaegan ko na yun raegan utha

wasl-o-firaq wahm sahi dil-lagi to hai
phir hum kahan jo parda-e-raaz-e-nihan utha

parwane ki tapish ne khuda jaane kan mein
kya kah diya ki shama ke sar se dhuan utha
