koi chehra na sada koi na paikar hoga

tilism-e-harf-o-hikayat use bhi le Duba

tha harf-e-shauq said hua kaun le gaya

puchh na humse kaise tujh tak naqd-e-dil-o-jaan lae hum

shafaq-sifat jo paikar dikhai deta hai

hum donon mein koi na apne qaul-o-qasam ka sachcha tha

hum bichhaD ke tum se baadal ki tarah rote rahe

phir dil ko roz o shab ki wahi id chahiye

hai dhup kabhi saya shoala hai kabhi shabnam

maine kab barq-e-tapan mauj-e-bala mangi thi
