wo dariya-bar ashkon ki jhadi hai
ki hut-e-asman tah mein padi hai

mere arman buton ki sard-mehri
zraat barf ke pale padi hai

chaman mein sarw ka bahrup bhar kar
qayamat muntazar kis ki khadi hai

dahan-e-tang ghuncha patiyan lab
hansi hai phul fiqara pankhudi hai

laga di aag kis shoala ne bulbul
har ek phulon ki tahni phuljhadi hai

nigah-e-yas kis ki kar gai chot
ki gardan tegh ki dhalki padi hai

anasir jald pahuncha denge ta-gor
nihayat tez-rau ye chaukdi hai

kafan se munh lapete meri hasrat
dil-e-viran ke kone mein padi hai

sirhane muddai aaya to jaana
judai ki ghadi sar par khadi hai

kisi ko par utarega falak kya
usi ki naw chakkar mein padi hai

bana le aql aag ka putla falatun
ki talchhat kuchh mere khum mein padi hai

nasha hai aur hiran hain us ki aankhen
nazar-bazi hiran ki chaukdi hai

nigah-e-shauq se sina churaya
hamari chot tum se bhi kadi hai

bala-e-zulf-e-mehman se kahun kya
nahin talti mere sar aa padi hai

syahi dur hogi rafta rafta
abhi zahid ki dadhi kadbadi hai

sar-e-mahshar badhi hai kis qadar zulf
qayamat kis qadar ochhi padi hai

guhar-bin hai nizam-ul-mulk apna
tabiat kya 'bayan' qismat ladi hai
