tumhaare hijr mein khwab-o-khayal bhatke hain
kahan kahan mere dast-e-sawal bhatke hain

phire hain gird tere gardish-e-jahan ki tarah
misal-e-roz-o-shab-o-mah-o-sal bhatke hain

ajab hai kucha-e-jaanan ki aakhir-e-shab mein
bade ghayur bade ba-kamal bhatke hain

chaman ki sair ko jaane ka faeda kya hai
gulon mein aap hi ke khadd-o-khal bhatke hain

yahan to roz hi manzar hai roz-e-mahshar ka
chahaar-samt nishan-e-zawal bhatke hain

na puchhe haal koi dasht-e-shauq mein 'tanwir'
gireban chaak kiye khasta-haal bhatke hain
