aadmi raushni nahin pae

tere falak pe kahin mera mahtab nahin

zindagi maut ki panah mein hai

mera dayar shanasa-e-rang-o-nur nahin

KHafi raha ya jali aalam-e-shuhud mein tha

zulf zanjir-e-pa hui jab se

qatra hun magar raunaq-e-sahra hun bura hun

visal-e-yar tamanna-e-KHam hai shayad

mizaj-e-shauq mein mamuriyat ka azm bhi ho

tama ka daur hai hatim ata kar
