wo ram-shiar mera shoKH-dida aaya tha
dil-e-shahid hua hai shahid-e-husn-e-sifat
talib-e-ishq hai kya salik-e-uryan na hua
haris ho na jahan mein na apna ji bhaTka
milte nahin ho humse ye kya hua watira
kis rang mein bayan karen majra-e-qalb
humse jo ahd tha wo ahd-shikan bhul gaya
dagh-e-gham-e-firaq miTaya na jaega
kahan hai wo gul-e-KHandan hamein nahin malum
tayyun tasalsul hai naqsh-e-badan ka
wahi zid un ko hai wahi hai haT
yahi tamanna-e-dil hai unki jidhar ko ruKH ho udhar ko chaliye
kyun aa gae hain bazm-e-zuhur-o-numud mein
mujhse kahte ho kya kahenge aap
tu hi anis-e-gham raha nala-e-gham-gusar-e-shab
