taskhir sab nujum-o-mah-o-kahkashan hue
mujh ko tha wo junun ki nigun do-jahan hue

main zist ke safar mein akeli jo chal padi
azm-o-junun-o-shauq mere karwan hue

dariya to ek pal mein samundar se ja mila
aansu thithak ke aankh mein ek dastan hue

nashshe mein takht-o-taj ke kal tak jo chur the
sach hai lahad mein aaj wahi be-nishan hue

jin pe ba-sad-niyaz jhuka di thi ye jabin
'resham' nuqush-e-pa wo mere aastan hue
