uftad tabiat se is haal ko hum pahunche
shiddat ki mohabbat mein shiddat hi ke gham pahunche

ahwal bataen kya raste ki sunaen kya
ba-haalat-e-zar aae ba-dida-e-nam pahunche

jis chehre ko dekha wo aaina-e-duri tha
diwar ki surat tha jis dar pe qadam pahunche

kuchh lab pe kuchh aankhon mein le aae saja kar hum
jo ranj ki hath aae jo gham ki baham pahunche

qat-e-sar-e-shakh-e-narm aaghaz-e-numu-e-nau
sadme meri chahat ko pahunche to pa kam pahunche

wo shakh bane-sanwre wo shakh phale-phule
jis shakh pe dhup aae jis shakh ko nam pahunche
