tum ko paya naqd-e-hasti raegan hone ke baad
daulat-e-nau hath aai be-nishan hone ke baad

jam gir kar hath se zer-e-asa hai chur-chur
kya jien hum rind pir-e-na-tawan hone ke baad

tere lab par aur harf-e-na-umidi ai nadim
ye sitam ahl-e-wafa ka raaz-dan hone ke baad

azm-e-masjid se tulu-e-subh se kuchh peshtar
zeb-e-mai-khana hun maghrib ki azan hone ke baad

khar-o-khas phunke laga di barq ne khirman mein aag
sadma-e-gul bhi hai dagh-e-ashiyan hone ke baad

pas-e-rabt-e-ghair hum se chhod kar rasm-e-qadim
inqalab-e-waza-dari mehrban hone ke baad

kya sitam-ha-e-azizan ki shikayat kijiye
ishq mein pamal-e-jaur-e-asman hone ke baad

uf kaha kis dard se paigham yaran-e-qafas
qabr-e-bulbul par saba ne gul-fishan hone ke baad

marg-e-ghurbat parda-e-ruswai-e-ulfat hui
tum duaen do ajal ko shadman hone ke baad

khak ho jaana hujum-e-arzu ka hae hae
jada-e-rah-e-mohabbat mein rawan hone ke baad
