ye hujum-surat aasman-e-siyah mere aqab mein hai
main bade buland shajar ka phal bade fasle ka shikar

ghamza-e-raaz-dar
kaha gaya ki zamin ek kaf jo pahad mauj-e-nasim gesu-e-khalwati

so zamin saya-e-tirgi ki misal mere aqab mein hai
mujhe nind se jo utha ke jura-e-ab de

jo pas-e-ghubar chahaar-samt se aa ke mera halak ho
jo dam shaguft-e-gul-shafaq meri kuhniyon se qarib ho

wo hujum-e-khalwatiyan-e-khas mere aqab mein hai
main samaaton ka shikar tha

tu samaaton ka sahab surat-e-ab mere aqab mein hai
koi raste mein nahin mila

koi barg-o-bar-o-gul-o-shajar
koi nan-o-lahm-e-guzishtgan

koi aankh nind khayal khwab abr shitab nahin mila
koi khwab-zada nahin mila

sar-e-khud-nehada nahin mila
sar-e-khud-nehada ba-kaf ye mein ki zamin ek kaf-e-ju

pahad mauj-e-nasim gesu-e-khalwati
sar-e-khud-nehada ba-kaf ye main ki hujum-e-mar-e-siyah mere aqab mein hai

main bade buland shajar ka phal
bade fasle ka shikar ghamza-e-raaz-dar
