sar-ba-sar shakh-e-dil hari rahegi
ta-abad aankh mein tari rahegi

main ne qissa hi pak kar dala
ishq hoga na khud-sari rahegi

aks bante rahenge pesh-e-nazar
surat-e-aina-gari rahegi

satr-dar-satr khun jalaya hai
lafz mein raushni bhari rahegi

khamushi odh li darakhton ne
aarzu-e-sukhan-wari rahegi

koi manzil talash li jae
ab kahan tak ye be-ghari rahegi

bagh mein hai qayam ka mauqa
sab parindon se dilbari rahegi

kya hamesha bhatakna hai mujh ko
kya hamesha subuk-sari rahegi

zindagi se dari rahungi main
zindagi sae se dari rahegi

chand agar dub bhi gaya 'mahin'
taq par chandni dhari rahegi
