yaad hai pir-e-mughan ki chashm-e-nurani mujhe
ek nazar mein mil gai aalam ki sultani mujhe

lamha lamha lut gaya sarmaya-e-fursat mera
kar gai muflis iradon ki farawani mujhe

zat ke hujre mein baitha sochta rahta hun main
ta-ba-kai aabaad rakkhegi ye virani mujhe

fash kar dun ahl-e-mahfil par rumuz-e-husn-e-dost
aagahi bakhshe agar taufiq-e-nadani mujhe

dosh par karta hun is ke aalam-e-imkan ki sair
jazba-e-taḳhil hai takht-e-sulaimani mujhe

dil nahin ek tair-e-wahshi hai sine mein asir
raat bhar bedar rakhta hai ye zindani mujhe
