reshmi malbus mein
wo gul-rukhon ke qafile

is rang-o-bu ke shir mein
hum ajnabi dil-sokhta yaadon ke paiham silsile

mehrab-e-dar se jhankta
saqi ki chashm-e-mast ka

ruk ruk ke chalna yaad hai
duniya-e-bud-o-hast ka

is dastan ke bab mein
wo sim-tan shoala-ba-jaan

jin ke rukh-e-tabinda se
ye gulsitan raushan hua

jin ke lahu se harf bhi
mani ka pairahan bana

aae hain hum bhi dhundne
un mah-washon ke naqsh-e-pa

aankhon mein khwab-e-hijr se
shiddat thi shauq-e-wasl mein

lahore se shiraaz tak
chashm-e-zadan mein kat gae

sadiyon barabar fasle
