aankh dariya jigar lahu karna

jab ba-faizan-e-junun parcham-e-zar khulte hain

ham-nashin raat hai to raat bhi Dhal jaegi

ahd-e-wafa ka qarz ada kar diya gaya

irfan-o-agahi ke saza-war hum hue

aaina dekhta hun

gham ka aahang hai

phir wahi shab ke sarabon ka chalan!

dafatan aandhiyon ne ruKH badla

aas Dubi to dil hua raushan

bhula chuke hain zamin o zaman ke sab qisse

koi ilaj-e-gham-e-zindagi bata waiz
