yaaden hain shab-e-gham hai aur ashk-fishani hai
sun ai dil-e-diwana teri ye kahani hai

kashti ka budhapa hai tufan ki jawani hai
pi lenge samundar ko hum ne bhi ye thani hai

ai jazba-e-sadiq tu fanus-e-mohabbat hai
jo gul na ho aandhi se wo shama jalani hai

bas ek mohabbat hai jis ko hai baqa warna
is aalam-e-fani mein jo chiz hai fani hai

husn-e-rukh-e-duniya ka har dil pe asar dekha
aaine badalte hain taswir purani hai

lafzon ko muhib de de dhadkan dil-e-makhzan ki
mahfil mein ghazal apni un ko jo sunani hai
