ye hum jo hijr mein diwar-o-dar ko dekhte hain

raftar-e-umr qat-e-rah-e-iztirab hai

manzur thi ye shakl tajalli ko nur ki

mat mardumak-e-dida mein samjho ye nigahen

kyunkar us but se rakhun jaan aziz

KHatar hai rishta-e-ulfat rag-e-gardan na ho jawe

husn ghamze ki kashakash se chhuTa mere baad

kabe mein ja raha to na do tana kya kahen

nafas na anjuman-e-arzu se bahar khinch

na puchh nusKHa-e-marham jarahat-e-dil ka

jaur se baz aae par baz aaen kya

tere tausan ko saba bandhte hain

na hoga yak-bayaban mandgi se zauq kam mera

wan usko haul-e-dil hai to yan main hun sharm-sar

mana-e-dasht-nawardi koi tadbir nahin
