sitamgari bhi meri kushtagan bhi mere the
bayan karte hue nauha-khwan bhi mere the

faza mein udte parindon ki dar meri thi
nishane mere the tir-o-kaman bhi mere the

wo hajw meri thi wo sab qaside mere the
tumhaare bare mein wahm-o-guman bhi mere the

saf-e-azizan saf-e-dushmanan bhi meri thi
wo jang meri thi sud-o-ziyan bhi mere the

safar bhi mera tha aur gard-baad mere the
wo ishq mera tha aur imtihan bhi mere the

lahu bhi mera tha aur aastin bhi meri thi
wo tegh meri thi us par nishan bhi mere the

hazimaten bhi meri mukhbiri bhi meri thi
halak hote hue pasban bhi mere the
