udas sham mein pazhmurda baad ban ke na aa

aam hai izn ki jo chaho hawa par likh do

ye kya hua ki sabhi ab to dagh jalne lage

aks kuchh na badlega aainon ko dhone se

makr-e-hayat ruKH ki qaba bhi utar di

kho baiThi hai sare KHad-o-Khaal apni ye duniya

tu meri ibtida tu meri intiha main samundar hun tu sahilon ki hawa

kya bataen kya kal shab aaKHiri pahar dekha

main tere sang kaise chalun ham-safar tu samundar hai main sahilon ki hawa

wo qafila jo rah-e-shaeri mein kam utra

mata-e-dard maal-e-hayat hai shayad

shikast-e-asman ho jaunga main

shauq aasuda-e-tahlil-e-muamma na hua

mere charagho mera ganj-e-be-karan le lo

shuhud-e-dil-zadgan manzaron mein rakh aana
