sar-o-gardan ki judai dekho

ulfat-e-ariz-e-laila mein pareshan nikla

myan se tera agar KHanjar nikal kar rah gaya

na falak hoga na ye kucha-e-qatil hoga

main shama-e-bazm-e-alam-e-imkan kiya gaya

KHatm hoga ab safar pesh-e-nazar hai ru-e-dost

kisi hasrat-zada ne KHud-kushi manzur ki dil se

ghir ke ghabraate na the hijr ke aazaron mein

kahna na mana kucha-e-qatil mein rah gaya

duniya-e-gham ko zer-o-zabar kar sake to kar

lijiye KHatm hua gardish-e-taqdir ka rang

dad milti nazar-e-ahl-e-nazar se pahle

jaur-e-zamin na tha sitam-e-asman na tha

sham-e-taklif ki duniya mein sahar ho to sahi

achchha hua ye waqt to aana zarur tha
