yun main sidha gaya wahshat mein bayaban ki taraf
hath jis tarah se aata hai gareban ki taraf

baithe baithe dil-e-gham-ghin ko ye kya lahr aai
uth ke tufan chala dida-e-giryan ki taraf

dekhna lala-e-khud-raw ka lahakna saqi
koh se daud gai aag bayaban ki taraf

ro diya dekh ke aksar main bahaar-e-shabnam
hans diya dekh ke aksar gul-e-khandan ki taraf

baat chhupti nahin padti hain nigahen sab ki
us ke daman ki taraf mere gareban ki taraf

saikdon dagh-e-gunah dho gae rahmat se teri
kya ghata jhum ke aai thi gulistan ki taraf

chashm-e-aina pareshan-nazari sikh gai
dekhta tha ye bahut zulf-e-pareshan ki taraf

sar jhukae hue hai 'nazm' basan-e-khama
samt sajde ki hai teri khat-e-farman ki taraf
