charagh-e-shauq lahu se jala diya humne

main aks-gar-e-jalwa-e-jaanana bana hun

dard-e-jigar KHud apni dawa ho aisa bhi ho sakta hai

waqt jaisa hai ba-har-taur guzar jaana hai

likha hai dil-zadon ka barsar-e-paikar ho jaana

barmala husn-e-dil-awez ka qissa na suna

raat gae zindan mein jaane kis qaidi ka matam tha

dil-e-diwana ki bhule hi se ghar rahta hai

ek qayamat waqt se pahle bapa hone ko hai

dil-e-muztar ki dawa kijiyega

rafta rafta aarzuon ka ziyan hone ko hai

ho agar dida-e-tar husn-e-nazar khulta hai

husn-e-be-parwa ne jab chaha huwaida ho gaya

sab ko miT jaana hai taqwim-e-fana kya dekhun

mahw-e-hairat hun zamin-zade kahan tak aa gae
