talatum hai na jaan-lewa bhanwar hai

samundar se kisi lamhe bhi tughyani nahin jati

kuchh to mil jae kahin dida-e-pur-nam ke siwa

kabhi angDai le kar jab samundar jag uThta hai

dard ki sakit nadi phir se rawan hone ko hai

kiya hai maine aisa kya ki aisa ho gaya hai

kabhi jo uski tamanna zara biphar jae

fikr soi hai sar-e-sham jaga di jae

ek lafz aa gaya tha jo meri zaban par

zamana kuchh bhi kahe teri aarzu kar lun

ai dil tere tufail jo mujh par sitam hue

sach ki KHatir sab kuchh khoya kaun likhega

garche zahir mein hain ahwal munawwar sare

mujhe wo khel-tamasha dikhai deta hai

har ek lamha-e-gham bahr-e-be-karan ki tarah
