kaTa na koh-e-alam humse kohkan ki tarah

hamare haal se koi jo ba-KHabar rahta

KHabar nahin ki safar hai ki hai qayam abhi

samand-e-shauq pe KHat us ka taziyana hua

tu KHush-nasib hai har shaKHs hai asiron mein

main ki KHud apne KHayalat ka zindani hun

hum ko malum hai baaton ki sadaqat teri

gham ke maron ka hai sahaara chand

kabhi sukun to kabhi iztirab jaisa hai

kis darja mere shahar ki dilkash hai faza bhi

ho gai sham Dhal gaya suraj

dekha jo ek shaKHs ajab aan-ban ka

KHud apni yaad dila ke rula diya hai mujhe

karta main ab kisi se koi iltimas kya

wo nahin jaanta hai jab kuchh bhi
