zanjir mein hain dair-o-haram kaun-o-makan bhi
hai ishq hamein un se nahin jin ka guman bhi

jo jism ke zarron mein khuda dhund rahi hai
yusuf ki zulekha mein hai wo ruh-e-tapan bhi

is mohr-e-khamoshi mein nihan ruh-e-takallum
is soe hue shahr ki hai apni zaban bhi

har lahr ke sine se lipatta hai mera dil
manjdhaar ke is par ho sahil ka nishan bhi

kyon waqt ki lahren mujhe le jaen kisi or
daim dil-e-dariya hun main maujon mein rawan bhi

hum zist ki sarhad pe mile maut se lekin
hai dasht-e-talab bhi wahi aur manzil-e-jaan bhi
