saf baatin der se hain muntazir
saqiya khuz ma-safa da ma-kadar

phir hayat-e-chand-roza ka maal
maut par jab zindagi hai munhasir

rut badalte hi faza mein gunj utha
naghma-e-ya-ayyohas-saqi adir

aise wadi mein nahin kya rahnuma
khud jahan gum-karda manzil hun khizar

mashwara rahmat se kar ai adl-e-haq
kya saza jo ho khata ka khud muqir

kyun hai asrar-e-do-alam ki talash
parda-e-dil mein hain tere musattir

kyun meri diwangi badnam hai
un ki aankhen khud huin jab mushtahar

al-hazar pir-e-falak ki sar-kashi
dekhne mein tu hai utna munkasir

kho chuka aankhen magar ai barq-e-husn
dil rahega aur rahega muntazir

sun le faryaad-e-'aziz' jaan-ba-lab
rabb-e-inni mustaghiso fal-faqra
