mili bhi kya dar-e-daulat se kar-e-ishq ki dad

visal-o-hijr se wabasta tohmaten bhi gain

raston mein ek nagar aabaad hai

ab yahi ranj-e-be-dili mujhko miTae ya banae

tang aate bhi nahin kashmakash-e-dahr se log

marhale zist ke dushwar abhi ho jaen

kya kisi lamha-e-rafta ne sataya hai tujhe

apne KHun se jo hum ek shama jalae hue hain

hum ahl-e-zarf ki gham-KHana-e-hunar mein rahe

ek aas ka dhundla saya hai ek pas ka tapta sahra hai

kahin wo chehra-e-zeba nazar nahin aaya
