sukut-e-marg mein kyun rah-e-naghma-gar dekhun
main khud hi saz ki manind tut kar dekhun

mere dayar tere shahr hain ki sahra hain
main ek tarah ka manzar nagar nagar dekhun

wahi hon aariz-o-abaru-o-chashm-o-lab phir bhi
har ek chehre pe ek chehra-e-digar dekhun

ziya-e-najm-o-mah-o-mehr-o-kahkashan se alag
ajib raushaniyan tujh ko dekh kar dekhun

meri kami tujhe mahsus ho rahi thi jahan
wahin pahunch ke teri rah umr bhar dekhun

ghubar-e-rah-e-numai se at gai hai faza
taras gaya hun ki rahon ko ek nazar dekhun

teri shahi ki hawas mein hai meri jaan ka ziyan
main tere taj ko dekhun ki apna sar dekhun

na puchh harf-e-tamanna ki wusaten 'sadiq'
chale jo baat to sadiyan bhi mukhtasar dekhun
