zist mein rang bhar gai aakhir
wo nazar kaam kar gai aakhir

jazb-e-wahshat ki karsazi se
dil ki qismat sanwar gai aakhir

chir kar parda-e-mah-o-anjum
aap hi par nazar gai aakhir

jo qayamat guzarni thi hum par
dil ke hathon guzar gai aakhir

hae wo ek nigah-e-duzdida
kya kya ilzam dhar gai aakhir

jo khalish dil mein thi nihan pahle
rag-o-pai mein utar gai aakhir

azm-e-taban se bar-sar-e-manzil
raushni si bikhar gai aakhir

soz-e-dil ke tufail ai 'mansha'
shairi bhi nikhar gai aakhir
