mere aaqa tujhe bande ka KHayal aa hi gaya

o hasrat-e-visal na dekh is tarah na dekh

sukun-e-zindagi tark-e-amal ka nam hai shayad

jo bhi hai surat-e-haalat kaho chup na raho

aaya tha bazm-e-sher mein arz-e-hunar ko main

husn ki aankh agar haya na kare

but kahte hain mar ja mar ja

ajnabiyon ke shahr mein gum hun magar main kaun hun

baat bhi jis se ab nahin mumkin

jiye jata hun is sharmindagi mein

zikr ustad-e-fan ka jaane de

hairan ho ke munh mera takte hain bar bar

ya KHadim-e-din hona ya mazhar-e-din hona

din ki surat nazar aate hi meri raat hui

zindagi aur mile aur mile aur mile
