main dasht mein gar KHud ko muhayya nahin karta
rifaqat mein rafiqon ki riya-kari bhi shamil hai
mauj-o-girdab pe rakhta hai safina mera
aagahi aaine talak hai kya
koi bhi nahin shahr mein jab zat ke bahar
KHud se nibah shaq hua hai kabhi kabhi
shish-mahal mein do pal ko mehman hue the hum
motaqid is bar shayad surKH-ru hone ko hai
bala ka zikr kya ye mauj bhi ghanimat hai
koi tara kahin mahtab se milta-julta
junun karta hai din-raat paemal mujhe
kaam aaegi teri khoj mein zulmat aisi
is se behtar meri taswir nahin ho sakti
rutba-e-taKHt se mahrum hai mansab mera
rabt mein pahlu-e-nairang kahan se aaya
