tir nazron mein to abru mein kaman dhundta hun
us ki aankhon mein gai rut ke nishan dhundta hun

nashsha-e-qurb se badh kar hai teri khoj mujhe
tu jahan mil na sake tujh ko wahan dhundta hun

taza warid hun miyan aur ye shahr-e-dil hai
kuchh kamane ko yahan kar-e-ziyan dhundta hun

shak ki be-samt masafat hi mujhe mar na de
jo yaqin mujh ko dila de wo guman dhundta hun

apne andar mujhe karbal ka saman lagta hai
sar-bulandi ke liye nok-e-sinan dhundta hun

asr-e-hazir bhi lage harf-e-mukarrar 'jazib'
apne hone ke liye taza jahan dhundta hun
