taDapti dekhta hun jab koi shai

fikr hai shauq-e-kamar ishq-e-dahan paida karun

waqt-e-rawa-rawi hai uThe qafila ke log

jaane de sabr o qarar o hosh ko

subh hoti hai sham hoti hai

dimagh de jo KHuda gulshan-e-mohabbat mein

dil dhaDakta hai shab-e-gham mein kahin aisa na ho

umr bhar rashk-e-adu sath tha kahta kya haal

kya KHabar mujhko KHizan kya chiz hai kaisi bahaar

bas ki thi rone ki aadat wasl mein bhi yar se

dil-lagi mein hasrat-e-dil kuchh nikal jati to hai

aas kya ab to umid-e-na-ummidi bhi nahin

Khaali sahi bala se tasalli to dil ko ho

gar yahi hai pas-e-adab-e-sukut

zamane se nirala hai urus-e-fikr ka jauban
