zaban pe aah na sine pe dagh laya main
tumhaari bazm se kya na-murad aaya main

suragh-e-mehr-o-mohabbat ka dhundiyo na kahin
ki un ki rakh hawa mein bikher aaya main

zamin ki shamon se jab dil ko raushni na mili
falak se chand sitare utar laya main

khayal o fikr ki aawargi are tauba
nikal gaya jo kahin hath hi na aaya main

hazar qafile marg o hayat ke guzre
na dard ne kabhi thama na muskuraya main

shabab par tha chaman intikhab-e-gul kaisa
tamam phul nazar mein samet laya main

koi safar sa safar tha koi thi bat si bat
rah-e-hayat pe do-gam chal na paya main

bajae nala raza bar-ha hua aisa
ghamon ki shorish-e-paiham pe muskuraya main
