ab kargah-e-dahr mein lagta hai bahut dil

bacha liya mujhe tufan ki mauj ne warna

ab sochte hain laenge tujh sa kahan se hum

tishnagi hi tishnagi hai kis ko kahiye mai-kada

gham-e-hayat ne aawara kar diya warna

dekh zindan se pare rang-e-chaman josh-e-bahaar

alag baiThe the phir bhi aankh saqi ki paDi hum par

sutun-e-dar pe rakhte chalo saron ke charagh

kahan bach kar chali ai fasl-e-gul mujh aabla-pa se

main akela hi chala tha jaanib-e-manzil magar

baDhai mai jo mohabbat se aaj saqi ne

shab-e-intizar mein kashmakash mein na puchh kaise sahar hui

dil ki tamanna thi masti mein manzil se bhi dur nikalte

jala ke mishal-e-jaan hum junun-sifat chale

mere hi sang-o-KHisht se tamir-e-baam-o-dar
