tum apne shikwe ki baaten na khod khod ke puchho
hazar karo mere dil se ki is mein aag dabi hai

dila ye dard-o-alam bhi to mughtanim hai ki aakhir
na girya-e-sahari hai na aah-e-nim-shabi hai

nazar ba-naqs-e-gadayan kamal-e-be-adabi hai
ki khar-e-khushk ko bhi dawa-e-chaman-nasabi hai

hua visal se shauq-e-dil-e-haris ziyaada
lab-e-qadah pe kaf-e-baada josh-e-tishna-labi hai

khusha wo dil ki sarapa tilism-e-be-khabari ho
junun o yas o alam rizq-e-muddaa-talabi hai

chaman mein kis ke ye barham hui hai bazm-e-tamasha
ki barg barg-e-saman shisha reza-e-halabi hai

imam-e-zahir-o-baatin amir-e-surat-o-mani
'ali' wali asadullah jaanashin-e-nabi hai
