mujhe ye dar hai kisi aaftab ki garmi
teri nazar ke hazar aainon ko tod na de
mujhe ye wahm kisi mahtab ki thandak
lahu se garmi-e-fikr-o-amal nichod na le


tu apni zat se khud chashma-e-ada-o-sada
tujhe jahan ki hawaon ke rukh se kya nisbat
tu apne-ap hi khud anjuman hai khud hi charagh
hujum-e-halqa-ba-goshan se tujh ko kya nisbat


ye rasta nahin wo jis pe tu thahar jae
yahan se jald guzar aks-e-mehr-o-mah ki tarah
yahan pe koi ruka hai to khar-e-rah ki misal
yahan pe koi ruka hai to gard-e-rah ki tarah


jo aastan ho use sang-e-dar ka gham kaisa
jo khud safar ho use rahguzar ka gham kaisa
jo khud yaqin ho use wahm-e-intizam se kya
jo khud hi mai ho use mai-kade ke nam se kya
