mai-shikasta-dili ai harif-e-zauq-e-numu
kisi guzishta sadi ke utaq-e-viran se

na dal aur mere dil pe saya-e-gesu
wo ankabut jo tar-e-nafas mein jite hain

na jaane kaise dar aae hain teri mahfil mein
ki khun ye bhi tere rat-jagon ka pite hain

main jaanta hun kise mil saki kise na mili
wo gul-sarae bahisht-e-afrin magar phir bhi

mujhe nahufta na rakh ai mai-e-shikasta-dili
mere zuhur mein kuchh mumkinat mere hain

main dekh panw agar tujh se is ufuq se pare
to phir ye sare darakhshan jihat mere hain
