nigah-e-lutf ko ulfat-shiar samjhe the

har qadam par hai ehtisab-e-amal

batae kaun kisi ko nishan-e-manzil-e-zist

maut ke baad bhi marne pe na raazi hona

ek kaba ke sanam toDe to kya

ek fasl-e-gul ko le ke tahi-dast kya karen

kitne sanam KHud humne tarashe

apne daman mein ek tar nahin

izhaar-e-gham kiya tha ba-ummid-e-iltifat

chashm-e-sayyaad pe har lahza nazar rakhta hai

mere liye jine ka sahaara hai abhi tak

aashna jab tak na tha uski nigah-e-lutf se

aafiyat ki ummid kya ki abhi

jis ke waste barson sai-e-raegan ki hai

kabhi be-kali kabhi be-dili hai ajib ishq ki zindagi
