koh se zarrin aziyyat ke guzar jaane ke baad
surkh naghma sham ka ek pal mein mar jaane ke baad

han pas-az-fariyaad-o-qalb-e-dahr ki larzish ke baad
din ki tum aalud-zard-o-lala-gun kawish ke baad

tirgi ke dagh-e-dil se kis tarah dhounga main
jagte hi jagte phir subh tak rounga main

han wahi main din ko jis ki aankh thi aur aaftab
han wahi main jis ne dekha dahr labrez-e-hayat

zehan-e-insani mera kahta hai kha kar pech-o-tab
dekh le husn-e-manazir ko nahin hasil sabaat

qalb maikhane ki ha-o-hu ka aadi hai mera
kuchh talluq hi nahin mujh ko sukun-e-sang se

mujh ko khush aati nahin hai amn ki shab-gun faza
ruh ko taskin milegi ek paiham jang se
