azm se banta hai mustaqbil-e-aqwam-e-jahan
azm-e-insan ko samajh aaj ki haalat ko na dekh

abtari sath ki uljhi hui maujon ka hai nam
asl shai ruh hai bigdi hui surat ko na dekh

saz bajte hain mohabbat ke darun-e-mahfil
tu dar-e-yar ke darban ki shaqawat ko na dekh

kar-e-takhliq-e-bahaaran mein hain shoale filhaal
sawan aata hai bas ab jeth ki hiddat ko na dekh

aaj ka khun hai rang-e-gul-e-farda ke liye
dard-e-zakhm-e-dil-e-majruh ki shiddat ko na dekh

ashk moti sadaf-e-waqt mein ban jaenge
ho ke mayus gulu-giri-e-riqqat ko na dekh

pesh-rau pesh-e-nazar hain yahi aadab-e-hayat
subh hone ko hai ab raat ki zulmat ko na dekh
