wan naqab utthi ki subh-e-hashr ka manzar khula
ya kisi ke husn-e-alam-tab ka daftar khula

ghaib se pichhle pahar aati hai kanon mein sada
uttho uttho rahmat-e-rabb-e-ula ka dar khula

aankh jhapki thi tasawwur bandh chuka tha yar ka
chaunkte hi hasrat-e-didar ka daftar khula

ku-e-jaanan ka saman aankhon ke aage phir gaya
subh-e-jannat ka jo apne samne manzar khula

rang badla phir hawa ka mai-kashon ke din phire
phir chali baad-e-saba phir mai-kade ka dar khula

aa rahi hai saf bu-e-sumbul-e-bagh-e-jinan
gesu-e-mahbub shayad meri mayyat par khula

chaar-diwar-e-anasir phand kar pahunche kahan
aaj apna zor-e-wahshat arsh-e-azam par khula

chup lagi mujh ko gunah-e-ishq sabit ho gaya
rang chehre ka uda raaz-e-dil-e-muztar khula

ashk-e-khun se zard chehre par hai kya turfa bahaar
dekhiye rang-e-junun kaisa mere munh par khula

khanjar-e-qatil se jannat ki hawa aane lagi
aur bahaar-e-zakhm se firdaus ka manzar khula

nim-jaan chhoda teri talwar ne achchha kiya
ediyan bismil ne ragdin sabr ka jauhar khula

sohbat-e-waiz mein bhi angdaiyan aane lagin
raaz apni mai-kashi ka kya kahen kyunkar khula

hath uljha hai gareban mein to ghabrao na 'yas'
bediyan kyunkar katin zindan ka dar kyunkar khula
