waqia dasht-nawardi hua aasan mujh tak
bin-bulae chala aata hai bayaban mujh tak

kunj-e-aghosh-e-junun tangi-e-furqat se farar
ek suhulat se khinche daman-e-paiman mujh tak

rauzan-e-hijr sukut-e-shab-e-wahshat mein khula
jalwa-e-nur hua nala-e-mizhgan mujh tak

thi jise shohrat-e-asbab-e-kushada ki talash
aa ke mashhur hua be-sar-o-saman mujh tak

rang-e-aina rag-e-sang se nikla goya
girya-e-chashm hua girya-e-marjaan mujh tak

khush-libasi faqat andoh-e-basarat ka fareb
chal ke aata hai har ek saya-e-uryan mujh tak

ek diya roz jalata hai koi aakhir-e-shab
ek kiran roz pahunchti hai pareshan mujh tak
