sar hone do ye kar-e-jahan aish karenge

kuchh harf o suKHan pahle to aKHbar mein aaya

ishq miyan is aag mein mera zahir hi chamka dena

halqa-e-be-talaban ranj-e-giran-bari kya

mere hone mein kisi taur se shamil ho jao

is takalluf se na poshak-e-badan-gir mein aa

ab zaban KHanjar-e-qatil ki sana karti hai

unhin ki shah se unhen mat karta rahta hun

uski timsal ko pane mein zamane lag jaen

us se bichhaD ke bab-e-hunar band kar diya

jab ye aalam ho to likhiye lab-o-ruKHsar pe KHak

badal gai hai faza nile aasmanon ki

zehn ho tang to phir shoKHi-e-afkar na rakh

shoala-e-ishq bujhana bhi nahin chahta hai
