is dasht pe ehsan na kar ai abr-e-rawan aur
ye kaisa qafila hai jis mein sare log tanha hain
phir meri aas baDha kar mujhe mayus na kar
is jahan mein to apna saya bhi
main kuchh na kahun aur ye chahun ki meri baat
kis liye kije kisi gum-gashta jannat ki talash
tujhse wafa na ki to kisi se wafa na ki
shair unki dosti ka ab bhi dam bharte hain aap
shama ke manind ahl-e-anjuman se be-niyaz
is dasht-e-suKHan mein koi kya phul khilae
hum bhi hain kisi kahf ke ashab ke manind
iman bhi laj rakh na saka mere jhuT ki
suraj ko ye gham hai ki samundar bhi hai payab
suraj ke ujale mein charaghan nahin mumkin
badan pe pairahan-e-KHak ke siwa kya hai
