shauq-o-arman ki be-qarari ko

dil pe lagte hain saikaDon nashtar

aarzu hai ki ab meri hasti

jab kabhi aalam-e-tasawwur mein

apni fitrat pe naz hai mujhko

zindagi is tarah bhaTakti hai

teri fitrat sukun-pasandi hai

rang-afshan ho jis tarah umid

wo andhere jo munjamid se the

hai kuchh aisi hi barhami ai dil

hae ye sadgi o purkari

ek muddat sitam uThane par

ye chameli ki adh-khili kaliyan

muskuraya hai yun tera chehra

par-fishan hai thaka thaka sa KHayal
