asir-e-hafiza ho aaj ke jahan mein aao

dikhai jaegi shahr-e-shab mein sahar ki tamsil chal ke dekhen

wo apne juzw mein khoya gaya hai is had tak

jab chaha KHud ko shad ya nashad kar liya

hanpti naddi mein dam TuTa hua tha lahr ka

ek fana ke ghaT utra ek pagal ho gaya

naslen jo andhere ke mahazon pe laDi hain

misal-e-sail-e-bala na Thahre hawa na Thahre

wo aasman ke daraKHshinda rahiyon jaisa

har kisi ka har kisi se rabta TuTa hua

hazimaten jo fana kar gain ghurur mera

ye jo Thahra hua manzar hai badalta hi nahin

apni kaifiyyaten har aan badalti hui sham

tamiz-e-pisar-e-zamin wa ibn-e-falak na karna

kabhi KHud ko dard-shanas karo kabhi aao na
