sham-e-furqat intiha-e-gardish-e-ayyam hai

chhupata hun magar chhupta nahin dard-e-nihan phir bhi

mujhe fikr-o-sar-e-wafa hai hanuz

jab tak gham-e-ulfat ka unsur na mila hoga

ba-qaid-e-waqt ye muzhda suna raha hai koi

ishq KHud mail-e-hijab hai aaj

ba-qadr-e-shauq iqrar-e-wafa kya

jalwa-gah-e-dil mein marte hi andhera ho gaya

shukriya hasti ka! lekin tumne ye kya kar diya

murattab ho ke ek mahshar ghubar-e-dil se niklega

aa apne dil mein meri tamanna liye hue

dil ki bisat kya thi nigah-e-jamal mein

wusaten mahdud hain idrak-e-insan ke liye

jag aur dekh zara aalam-e-viran mera

idrak KHud-ashna nahin hai
