ye bhi israr koi rauzan-e-dar baz na ho
sans lete raho par sans ki aawaz na ho

yak-ba-yak aalam-e-izhaar mein sannate ki gunj
aane wale kisi tufan ki ghammaz na ho

sher-o-fan aazar-e-hazir ke tarashida sanam
tohmat-e-lauh-o-qalam tausan-e-parwaz na ho

phir teri yaad se raushan hua kashana-e-dil
wusat-e-kaun-o-makan jalwa-gah-e-naz na ho

waqt ke jabr se kab kar-e-junun-khez ruka
koshish-e-sang-zani nuqta-e-aghaz na ho
