yahi bahut the mujhe nan o aab o shama o gul

kitab-e-umr se sab harf uD gae mere

use ajab tha ghurur-e-shaguft-e-ruKHsari

main dil ko uski taghaful-sara se le aaya

main chahta hun mujhe mashalon ke sath jala

kitab-e-KHak paDhi zalzale ki raat usne

is dil ko kisi dast-e-ada-sanj mein rakhna

kaman-e-KHana-e-aflak ke muqabil bhi

kaman-e-shaKH se gul kis hadaf ko jate hain

ata usi ki hai ye shahd o shor ki taufiq
