tera bimar aisa na-tawan hai
ki tan mein jaan bhi bar-e-garan hai

zi-bas hai josh-e-dagh-o-bahr-e-girya
samundar aur machhli to aman hai

gira dega tuda kar tausan-e-umr
yahi tar-e-nafas ki gar inan hai

waraq hain rashk-e-auraq-e-gulistan
mera diwan ba-rang-e-bostan hai

kharidar aa ke le jate hain hasrat
meri bazar mein takhta dukan hai

raqam karta jo hun wasf-e-sar-e-zulf
zaban-e-mar khama ki zaban hai

na parwane ko itna bhi jala shama
ye koi dam ka tera mehman hai

charagh-e-dagh-e-dil goya hai khamosh
mere ghar mein ye aahon ka dhuan hai

uthun duniya se main diwana kyunkar
nafas manind-e-zanjir-e-giran hai

suna hai nam par dekha nahin 'arsh'
mere nazdik anqa qadr-dan hai
