nim-shab chand khud-faramoshi
mahfil-e-hast-o-bud viran hai
paikar-e-iltija hai khamoshi
bazm-e-anjum fasurda-saman hai
aabshaar-e-sukut jari hai
chaar-su be-khudi si tari hai
zindagi juzw-e-khawab hai goya
sari duniya sarab hai goya
so rahi hai ghane darakhton par!
chandni ki thaki hui aawaz
kahkashan nim-wa nigahon se
kah rahi hai hadis-e-shauq-e-niyaz
saz-e-dil ke khamosh taron se
chhan raha hai khumar-e-kaif-agin
aarzu khwab tera ru-e-hasin
