waqt-e-akhir kaam jazb-e-na-tamam aaya to kya
hichkiyon ki shakl mein un ka payam aaya to kya

rah gai rindon mein jab saghar uthane ki na tab
ab taghaful-ashna saqi-ba-jam aaya to kya

waqt hi par le ke ubhrega payam-e-subh-e-nau
dubte suraj ko taron ka salam aaya to kya

lutf to jab hai ki jalwa ho ba-qadr-e-zarf-e-did
ban ke barq-e-tur wo baala-e-baam aaya to kya

aaftab-e-subh ishrat ki ziyaen aur hain
sham-e-gham le kar agar mah-e-tamam aaya to kya

mai-kada viran hua bezar mai-kash ho chuke
ab agar saqi ba-husn-e-intizam aaya to kya

rah gaya qaem zulekha-e-mohabbat ka waqar
yusuf-e-masum par gar ittiham aaya to kya

ud chuki jab nind aankhon se ba-faizan-e-junun
ab sahar aai to kya hangam-e-sham aaya to kya

baat to jab thi ki rahte hosh mein apne kalim
jalwa kho jaane pe andaz-e-kalam aaya to kya
