abas wajud ka dukh tangi-e-hayat ka dukh

meri bipta bhi kitni dukh-bhari hai

jate jate gale lagata kya

kamal-e-zabt ko yaksar bhi aazmana nahin

isi bana pe agar ki to dosti karungi

taghaful be-niyazi ka gila kafi nahin hai

guman paDta yahi hai ki rahbari hui hai

junun KHatm hua etidal rah gaya hai

gham-e-hijran ki mari DhunDhti hai

mujh mein ab nahin baqi hausla bichhaDne ka

nigah-e-shauq tera haz uThana chahungi

aa jata hai KHud pas bulana nahin paDta

guman paDta yahi hai ki rahbari hui hai

bichhaDne ki suhulat mil na jae

jazire dhund ke pichhe chhupe the
