ye dil fareb-e-tamanna mein be-qarar kiya
yahi hai jurm jise hum ne bar-bar kiya

na hum ne sud-o-ziyan dekh kar mohabbat ki
na nafraton ka kabhi hum ne karobar kiya

shikasta-ruh sulagti nigah dil-e-mahjur
na puchh kaise har ek zakhm ka shumar kiya

tere jamal-e-nazar ne diya fareb hamein
usi fareb-e-nazar ne hai ashk-bar kiya

nawa-e-subh-e-azal teri chah mein hum ne
na puchh dast-e-khamoshan ko kaise par kiya

nazar na aai haqiqat majaz ki surat
nigah-e-shauq ne paiham ye intizar kiya

giri thi barq-e-tajalli jo qalb par mere
usi ne raaz-e-haqiqat ko aashkar kiya

sahar ki aas mein guzri 'saba' ye umr tamam
harim-e-zist ka zulmat ne yun hisar kiya
