manzur lahu ki bund koi ab tak na meri bekar giri

shama ki tarah shab-e-gham mein pighalte rahiye

zehn mein charaghan hai ruh jagmagai hai

chehre pe sare shahr ke gard-e-malal hai

ruKH pe ahbab ke phir rang-e-musarrat aae

ilaj-e-zaKHm-e-dil hota hai gham-KHwari bhi hoti hai

mai-kada-saman thi nazron mein faza kal raat ko

aisi taDap ata ho ke duniya misal de

main hun aur silsila-e-ashk-e-rawan aaj ki raat

tishna-labi ne jab bhi zauq-e-amal diya hai

mamul pe sahil rahta hai fitrat pe samundar hota hai

KHwab ka rishta haqiqat se na joDa jae

dil ka har qatra-e-KHun rang-e-hina se mango

ab KHun ko mai qalb ko paimana kaha jae

kuchh gham-e-jaanan kuchh gham-e-dauran donon meri zat ke nam
