wafur-e-hausla-e-arz-e-muddaa na raha
mila jo us se to baqi koi gila na raha

ragon se dard ka rishta bhi kham hi nikla
kisi ki chashm-e-inayat ka silsila na raha

nikal phenk diya dil se sab usulon ko
nazar ke samne jab koi rasta na raha

mere lahu se hi raushan charagh thi hasti
mere hi ghar mein agarche koi diya na raha

ajib hai ki hua ru-siyah raqib mera
ajib-tar hai ki wo shokh ba-wafa na raha

talab mein us ki farozan kiya tha dil ka diya
hawa chali to bahut der tak jala na raha
