jab se marne ki ji mein Thani hai
ye nasib-e-shairi hai zahe shan-e-kibriyai
gudaz-e-dil se baatin ka tajalli-zar ho jaana
dil-e-azada-rau mein wo tamanna thi bayaban ki
yun Dhal gaya hai dard mein darman kabhi kabhi
wo sabr de ki na de jis ne be-qarar kiya
sarshaar hun sarshaar hai duniya mere aage
apne mein jo ab bhule se kabhi rahat ka taqaza pata hai
subu uTha ki faza sim-e-KHam hai saqi
dosto waqt hai phir zaKHm-e-jigar taza karen
naqsh-e-KHayal dil se miTaya nahin hanuz
sari duniya hai ek parda-e-raaz
udhar mazhab idhar insan ki fitrat ka taqaza hai
numayan muntaha-e-sai-e-paiham hoti jati hai
meri haalat dekhiye aur unki surat dekhiye
