husul-e-manzil-e-jaan ka hunar nahin aaya

paDe hain rah mein jo log be-sabab kab se

dida-e-be-rang mein KHun-rang manzar rakh diye

mere har lafz ki tauqir rahne ke liye hai

jo pi raha hai sada KHun be-gunahon ka

banti nahin baat to phir baat kya karen

ruKH-e-hayat hai sharminda-e-jamal bahut

rut na badle to bhi afsurda shajar lagta hai

asiran-e-hawadis ki giran-jaani nahin jati

tishnagi-e-lab pe hum aks-e-ab likkhenge

mashaqqat ka KHazana mangta hai

ataq-e-shab mein sahar ke charagh raushan kar

koi shai dil ko bahlati nahin hai

usi ke zulm se main haalat-e-panah mein tha

kabhi aankhon pe kabhi sar pe biThae rakhna
