qafas ko toD ke main baal-o-par bhi dekhunga

jo abhi mera hai tere sang hona chahiye

qismat mein jis ke tha wo gaya is jahan se

naghme ko lai sadaf ko guhar ki talash hai

jab wo yusuf hi na ho misr ke bazar ke pas

apni mohabbaton ko saliqa mile koi

kis qadar ruh pasheman hai tumhein kya malum

na-karda gunahon ki saza aur hi kuchh hai

zindagi jaise bhi guzregi guzar jaegi

qadam qadam pe jo apna nishan banate hain

bu-e-gul khinche na gulshan mein gul-e-tar khinche

jab bhi tere makan se guzre

jo dua thi wo be-asar Thahri

misal-e-shabnam gul aazma rahi hai mujhe

aisi duniya ka etibar nahin
