raqs-e-ashufta-sari ki koi tadbir sahi

tamam husn-e-jahan ka jawab ho ke raha

nigah-e-shauq se kab tak muqabla karte

dard ke sanche mein Dhal kar rah gai

KHulus-e-alfaz kaam aaya nigah-e-ahl-e-fitan se pahle

yaqin-e-subh-e-chaman hai kitna shuur-e-abr-e-bahaar kya hai

karwan tira-shab mein chalte hain

falsafi kis liye ilzam-e-fana deta hai

mata-e-shauq to hai dard-e-rozgar to hai

nashili chhanw mein bite hue zamanon ko

aaghaz-e-ashiqi ka allah re zamana

na sahra hai na ab diwar-o-dar hai

ufuq ke KHunin dhundlakon ka subh nam nahin

shauq-e-awara dasht-o-dar se hai

nigah tez shuur-e-buland rakhte hain
