wo yak-ba-yak use dal mein utarne ka amal
wo apni zat pe shab-khun marne ka amal

hazar waswase dil mein aur ek dahakta alaw
hayat-e-dasht mein raaten guzarne ka amal

bas ek khosha-e-gandum aur aisi dar-ba-dari
wo aasman ko zamin par utarne ka amal

ye umar mez hai gawayya qimar-khane ki
bas ek jit ki khwahish mein haarne ka amal

wo band khushbu ka baad-e-saba ke wo nakhun
kali ke jism se kapde utarne ka amal

ghazab ka shor machate hoe ye sannate
wo be-sada bhi kisi ko pukarne ka amal

hui hai sham phir ashkon se ek wazu ho 'nadim'
phir ek raat sitare shumarne ka amal
