mere chaaron taraf ye sazish-e-tasKHir kaisi hai

KHak uDti hai KHaridar kahan kho gae hain

KHana-barbaad hue be-dar-o-diwar rahe

har-chand apne aks ka dil dardmand ho

ye jo hum atlas o kim-KHwab liye phirte hain

jhuT raushan hai ki sachchai nahin jaante hain

sarsabz mausamon ka asar le gaya koi

raqs karta hai ba-andaz-e-junun dauDta hai

main laDkhaDaya to mujhko gale lagane lage

pas-e-ghubar-e-talab KHauf-e-justuju hai bahut

tilism-KHana-e-dil mein hai chaar-su raushan

nafas nafas iztirab mein tha

raqs-e-taus-e-tamanna nahin hone wala

tera gham teri aarzu kab tak

tanhaiyon ki barf thi bistar pe ja-ba-ja
