uTThe kahin se dard-e-jigar tumko is se kya

hayat apni sanwarun khuli kitab karun

nahin aao ki ab aawaz-e-pa se choT lagti hai

kuchh bhi nahin hai kya pas-e-diwar dekhna

shahr-e-tarik ko sapnon ka nagar hone tak

ashk ko aankh ki dahliz pe laya na karo

main nindon ka bahana chahti hun

sambhaale abr-e-karam tu sambhal bhi sakti hai

sach pe hi sabit-qadam Thahri thi main

muddaton se udas baiThi hun

zikr us raat se hai wabasta

zindagi ke liye itna bhi kya hairan hona

jab muqaddar hi mein hai tanhai se yari pagal

yarab diya hai husn to ye bhi kamal de

dil mera muztar bahut paiham raha
