soz-e-dua se saz-e-asar kaun le gaya
ek sang-e-dar se nisbat-e-sar kaun le gaya

har shai hai na-tamam ye ehsas kyun hai aaj
har aib se jawaz-e-hunar kaun le gaya

kis ne meri nigah se parde utha diye
ek ranj-e-agahi ki idhar kaun le gaya

arsa hua ke panw ke niche zamin nahin
wo naqsh-e-pa wo rahguzar kaun le gaya

mere safine mere lahu mein naha gae
mere sarab ke wo bhanwar kaun le gaya

takhir-e-waqt-e-did teri barhami ka dar
kitna hasin dar tha wo dar kaun le gaya

hairan hai aql 'shaz' ki wahshat kidhar gai
basti udas hai ki khandar kaun le gaya
