ya-ilahi mujhe wo tarz-e-lisani mil jae
qabl-e-guftar mere lafz ko mani mil jae

tu ne kitnon ke safinon ko kinare bakhshe
meri kashti ko bhi ai bahr rawani mil jae

beshtar hum teri yaadon ko bhula baithe the
kya kare koi jo taswir purani mil jae

hum musannif ke tasawwur mein ghute jate hain
apne kirdar ko ab koi kahani mil jae

dil to sahra ke sarabon se bahal jata hai
tu nahin hai to teri koi nishani mil jae

kar chuka ho tu gulistanon ko sairab agar
ai falak banjh zaminon ko bhi pani mil jae

soch tabir ko dar jata hai qalb-e-yusuf
chashm-e-piri ko agar khwab-e-jawani mil jae
