yun to barson na pilaun na piyun ai zahid

gada nahin hain ki dast-e-sawal phailaen

na rahi be-KHudi-e-shauq mein itni bhi KHabar

talatum aarzu mein hai na tufan justuju mein hai

dil ke talib nazar aate hain hasin har jaanib

dam-e-gham-e-hayat mein uljha gai umid

ye fitrat ka taqaza tha ki chaha KHub-ruon ko

fikr-e-maash o ishq-e-butan yaad-e-raftagan

saf aata hai nazar anjam har aaghaz ka

aql ko kyun bataen ishq ka raaz

na ilm hai na zaban hai to kis liye mahrum

baad-e-tark-e-arzu baiTha hun kaisa mutmain

ai ham-nafas na puchh jawani ka majra

hun wo barbaad ki qismat mein nasheman na qafas

dil mein kahte hain ki ai kash na aae hote
