charagh-e-shauq lahu se jala diya humne

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

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

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

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

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

dil-e-muztar ki dawa kijiyega

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

rafta rafta aarzuon ka ziyan hone ko hai

raat gae zindan mein jaane kis qaidi ka matam tha

yun to wo dard-ashna bhi hain

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

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

ek qayamat waqt se pahle bapa hone ko hai

waqt jaisa hai ba-har-taur guzar jaana hai
