wada-e-wasl hai lazzat-e-intizar utha
aur phir umr bhar ek gham-e-e'tibar utha

us ka gham mere dil mein hai ab bansuri ki tarah
naghma-e-dard se zakhma-e-ikhtiyar utha

main utha to falak se bahut chand tare gire
aur sahra-e-jaan mein bahut gham-e-ghubar utha

kuchh raha mere dil mein to ek iztirab raha
main sada apni hi khak se be-qarar utha

ai khuda rizq-e-parwaz de shahparon ko mere
mere atraf se aasman ka hisar utha

tu mujhe aasman de na de be-zamin na kar
dasht-e-jaan se mere mausam-e-tab-kar utha

ya meri aankh se chhin le sab khazana-e-khwab
ya meri khak se zindagi ka fishaar utha
