sharar-e-ishq sadiyon ka safar karta hua
bujha mujh mein mujhi ko be-khabar karta hua

rumuz-e-khak bab-e-mushtahar karta hua
yunhi aabaad sahra-e-hunar karta hua

zamin-e-justuju gard-e-safar karta hua
ye mujh mein kaun hai mujh se mafar karta hua

abhi tak lahlahata hai wo sabza aankh mein
wo mauj-e-gul ko meyar-e-nazar karta hua

harim-e-shab mein khun rota hua mah-e-tamam
nigar-e-subh qissa mukhtasar karta hua

meri mitti ko le pahuncha dayar-e-yar tak
ghubar-e-jaan tawaf-e-chashm-e-tar karta hua

takabbur le raha hai imtihan phir azm ka
sitaron ko mere zer-e-asar karta hua

falak-bosi ki khwahish tair-e-wahshat ko thi
uda hai apni mitti darguzar karta hua
