simaT simaT si gai thi zamin kidhar jata

hayat ras na aae ajal bahana kare

wo gada-garan-e-jalwa sar-e-rahguzar chup the

rang laya mera be-barg-o-nawa ho jaana

shab-e-wada kah gai hai shab-e-gham daraaz rakhna

wafa ka zikr hi kya hai jafa bhi ras aae

shikan shikan teri yaaden hain mere bistar ki

zara si baat thi baat aa gai judai tak

koi to aa ke rula de ki hans raha hun main

qissa-e-shauq ke unwan dil-aram kai

kaun deta raha sahra mein sada meri tarah

mere nasib ne jab mujhse intiqam liya

kis kis ko ab rona hoga jaane kya kya bhul gaya

na mahfil aisi hoti hai na KHalwat aisi hoti hai

aabla-pai se virana mahak jata hai
