dhalte suraj ka zarfishan tabut
le chale maghribi ufuq ke kahaar

aur darmanda rahguzaron par
jam gaya waqt surat-e-ashjar

be-karan be-aman khalaon tak
chikhti jati hain ababilen

parbaton ke muhib chehron se
dar ke khamosh ho gain jhilen

har khandar mein hain bhut mahw-e-raqs
kasa-e-sar ki le ke qindilen

aur dur is fasil-e-sham se dur
chand ka intizar hai tum ko

khud-kushi jism-o-jaan ki kar ke bhi
zist ka e'tibar hai tum ko

be-nafas be-rida-e-tar-e-hayat
hum barahna hayule kya ghumen

munh khuli qabren ro rahi hongi
aao qabron mein apni laut chalen
