rabt mein pahlu-e-nairang kahan se aaya
rutba-e-taKHt se mahrum hai mansab mera
zarra jo koi mehr ke misdaq ho gaya
bayan-e-haal ko arz-e-talab samajhte hain
is se behtar meri taswir nahin ho sakti
motaqid is bar shayad surKH-ru hone ko hai
zamin din-raat jal rahi hai
kaam aaegi teri khoj mein zulmat aisi
aagahi aaine talak hai kya
dasht ne talib-e-gulzar kiya hai mujhko
KHud se nibah shaq hua hai kabhi kabhi
koi tara kahin mahtab se milta-julta
jab se jaana hai gham-e-zist se hasil kya hai
main dasht mein gar KHud ko muhayya nahin karta
junun karta hai din-raat paemal mujhe
