taswir-e-dost fikr-e-mujassam bani rahi

aadat meri duniya se chhupane ki nahin thi

fikr-e-naqqad-e-adab dirham-o-dinar mein hai

KHayal-e-gardish-e-sham-o-sahar mein rahta hun

chand diwaren kisi ko din kisi ko dar diye

jis raat bhi charagh-e-shab-e-gham raha hun main

rang ka farq miTaya ye sharaf mera tha

ek baat bahut KHas thi chehron ke safar mein

hum naqsh-e-pa the rahguzar hi mein rah gae

rah ke KHamosh bhi elan bahut karta hai

Tis bhi Tis na thi zaKHm-e-jigar hone tak

ye be-mausam jo purwai bahut hai

hael hain ashk rah mein kaise nazar mile

kanTon tumhein phulon ki chubhan yaad rahegi

mizaj-e-dil na itna sard hota
