durd pi lete hain aur dagh pacha jate hain

nahin band-e-qaba mein tan hamara

go yan na kisi ko aae afsos

ab ke jo yahan se jaenge hum

jate hi ho gar KHwah-naKHwah

ji mein chuhlen thin jo kuchh so to gain yar ke sath

shikwa na baKHt se hai ne aasman se mujhko

yan sada nish-e-bala waqf-e-jigar-reshi hai

mera ji go tujhe pyara nahin hai

yun to duniya mein har ek kaam ke ustad hain shaiKH

pas-e-iKHlas saKHt hai taklif

dil pa ke uski zulf mein aaram rah gaya

shab jo dil be-qarar tha kya tha

din raat kis ki yaad thi kaisa malal tha

dil mein apne nahin koi juz-yar
