wo KHanuman-KHarab na kyun dar-ba-dar phire

ya rab meri hayat se gham ka asar na jae

jab mere raste mein koi mai-kada paDa

yun intiqam tujhse fasl-e-bahaar lenge

ek tishna-lab ne baDh ke jo saghar uTha liya

husn ka ek aah ne chehra niDhaal kar diya

wo jaane kitna sar-e-bazm sharmsar hua

duniya-e-tasawwur hum aabaad nahin karte

ahl-e-dair-o-haram rah gae

tu phul ki manind na shabnam ki tarah aa

yun teri talash mein tere KHasta-jaan chale

chehra-e-subh nazar aaya ruKH-e-sham ke baad

koi samjhega kya raaz-e-gulshan

jab bhi nazm-e-mai-kada badla gaya

ai husn zamane ke tewar bhi to samjha kar
