saya-e-zulf siyah-fam kahan tak pahunche
jaane ye silsila-e-sham kahan tak pahunche

dur ufuq par sahi pa to liya hai tujh ko
dekh hum le ke tera nam kahan tak pahunche

ye sisakti hui raaten ye bilakte manzar
hum bhi ai saya-e-gulfam kahan tak pahunche

na kahin saya-e-gul hai na kahin zikr-e-habib
aur ab gardish-e-ayyam kahan tak pahunche

hum to ruswa the magar un ki nazar bhi na bachi
hum pe aae hue ilzam kahan tak pahunche

mutmain garmi-e-ehsas-e-jafa se bhi nahin
dil ko pahunche bhi to aaram kahan tak pahunche

un ki aankhon ko diye the jo meri aankhon ne
kis se puchhun ki wo paigham kahan tak pahunche
