na lewe gar KHas-e-jauhar tarawat sabza-e-KHat se

jis zaKHm ki ho sakti ho tadbir rafu ki

har qadam duri-e-manzil hai numayan mujhse

gham-e-duniya se gar pai bhi fursat sar uThane ki

kahun jo haal to kahte ho muddaa kahiye

us bazm mein mujhe nahin banti haya kiye

larazta hai mera dil zahmat-e-mehr-e-daraKHshan par

na tha kuchh to KHuda tha kuchh na hota to KHuda hota

zamana saKHt kam-azar hai ba-jaan-e-asad

qafas mein hun gar achchha bhi na jaanen mere shewan ko

pae-nazr-e-karam tohfa hai sharm-e-na-rasai ka

zaKHm par chhiDken kahan tiflan-e-be-parwa namak

diya hai dil agar usko bashar hai kya kahiye

taskin ko hum na roen jo zauq-e-nazar mile

dost gham-KHwari mein meri sai farmawenge kya
