wasl ki banti hain in baaton se tadbiren kahin
aarzuon se phira karti hain taqdiren kahin

be-zabani tarjuman-e-shauq behad ho to ho
warna pesh-e-yar kaam aati hain taqriren kahin

mit rahi hain dil se yaaden rozgar-e-aish ki
ab nazar kahe ko aaengi ye taswiren kahin

iltifat-e-yar tha ek khwab-e-aghaz-e-wafa
sach hua karti hain in khwabon ki tabiren kahin

teri be-sabri hai 'hasrat' kham-kari ki dalil
girya-e-ushshaq mein hoti hain tasiren kahin
