sang hain nawak-e-dushnam hain ruswai hai

tha meri jast pe dariya baDi hairani mein

main kahan aur arz-e-haal kahan

wo tamam rang ana ke the wo umang sari lahu se thi

phir jo dekha dur tak ek KHamushi pai gai

jis pal maine ghar ki imarat KHwab-asar banai thi

KHwabon ki ek bhiD lagi hai jism bechaara nind mein hai

kaise kaTe qasida-go harf-garon ke darmiyan

din ka malal sham ki wahshat kahan se laen

halak-e-kashmakash-e-raegan bahut se hain

kabhi KHurshid-e-ziya-bar hun main

aawargan-e-shauq sabhi ghar ke ho gae

kaise is shahr mein rahna hoga

chheD ke saz-e-zargari KHalq-e-KHuda hai raqs mein

jaane kya hai jise dekho wahi dil-gir lage
