unhen haqiqat-e-ah-o-fughan nahin malum
kahan hai aag kidhar hai dhuan nahin malum

kisi ki yaad jab aati hai dub jata hai
kuchh aur haal-e-dil-e-na-tawan nahin malum

badal ke khush hain wo andaz-e-jaur ko apne
badal chuka hun main tarz-e-fughan nahin malum

gham-e-chaman ke sile mein mila qafas hamdam
abhi maal-e-gham-e-ashiyan nahin malum

nazar-farebi-e-husn-e-butan ka qail hun
fareb-kari-e-ahl-e-jahan nahin malum

abhi hai sahn-e-chaman mein abhi nasheman par
giregi aaj ye bijli kahan nahin malum

zaban pe ghuncha-o-gul ki ubur hai lekin
mujhe khud apne hi dil ki zaban nahin malum

nafas ki aamad-o-shud ki hai be-nishan manzil
kahan pe ja ke ruke karwan nahin malum

hazaron dar pe jhukaya hai sar magar 'natiq'
jabin ke sath jhuka dil kahan nahin malum
