kis liye parwana KHakistar hua

gar nashe mein koi be-fikr-o-tammul bandhe

itna to jaante hain ki bande KHuda ke hain

hamid kahan ki dauD ke jaun KHabar ko main

aaKHir ye husn chhup na sakega naqab mein

jo bhale bure ki aTkal na mera shiar hota

shab-e-zindagani sahar ho gai

ghair-e-tawakkul nahin chaara mujhe

rah-o-rasm-e-KHat-kitabat hi sahi

wahi karwan wahi qafila tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho

wahi sail wahi masul wahi hajat-mand

kabhi taqsir jis ne ki hi nahin

aish ke jalse hujum aalam ke

hai jaan-e-hazin ek lab-e-ruh-faza do

kya kya ajal ne jaan churai tamam shab
