ye faqat shorish-e-hawa to nahin
koi mujh ko pukarta to nahin

bol ai akhtar-e-ghunuda-e-subh
koi raaton ko jagta to nahin

sun ki ye madd-o-jazr-e-sahil-e-bahr
majraon ka majra to nahin

zehn par ek khurduri si lakir
kankhajure ka rasta to nahin

ret par chadh rahi hai ret ki tah
babul o misr o nainwa to nahin

nok-e-har-khar-o-khas hai khun-alud
ruh-e-sahra barhana-pa to nahin

ai meri jaan-e-mubtala ke sukun
tu koi jaan-e-mubtala to nahin

tere jism-e-hasin mein khwabida
bagh-e-jannat ka azhdaha to nahin
