gardan jhuki hui hai uThate nahin hain sar

ai ahl-e-wafa KHak bane kaam tumhaara

KHak mein kis din milati hai mujhe

aaghaz se zahir hota hai anjam jo hone wala hai

kis tarah husn-e-zaban ki ho taraqqi wahshat

uTha lene se to dil ke raha main

aziz agar nahin rakhta na rakh zalil hi rakh

nahin mumkin lab-e-ashiq se harf-e-muddaa nikle

yahan har aane wala ban ke ibrat ka nishan aaya

har chand wahshat apni ghazal thi giri hui

ruKH-e-raushan se yun uTThi naqab aahista aahista

chhupa na gosha-nashini se raaz-e-dil wahshat

majal-e-tark-e-mohabbat na ek bar hui

wo kaam mera nahin jis ka nek ho anjam

ai mishal-e-ummid ye ehsan kam nahin
