roz-e-raushan ko shab-e-tar na kahna aaya

bahaaron mein tilism-e-gul-ruKHan ka zikr karne do

yun naqab-e-ruKH-e-zeba bhi uTha di kis ne

zindagi chhoD gai be-sar-o-saman mujhe

kuchh nahin duniya badal jaane ki gham-KHwani mujhe

ashk aankhon se dam-e-zabt rawan hota hai

dekh kar log hue shashdar-o-hairan mujhe

sitam ahl-e-karam farma rahe hain

tu ne jo harakat dil-e-nadan ki

baDh gaya gar mera israr to phir kya hoga

chand tinke the jo anjum aashiyane ke liye

apne jazbon ki thakan yun bhi utari humne

asl chehron ka inkishaf kiya
