meri mahdud basarat ka natija nikla

kaun kahta hai ki maut aai to mar jaunga

dilon se aarzu-e-umr-e-jawedan na gai

labon pe narm tabassum racha ke dhul jaen

yun to is jalwa-gah-e-husn mein kya kya dekha

ji chahta hai falak pe jaun

teri mahfil bhi mudawa nahin tanhai ka

wo jo ek umr se masruf ibaadat mein the

phulon se lahu kaise Tapakta hua dekhun

jo log dushman-e-jaan the wahi sahaare the

phir bhayanak tirgi mein aa gae

chand us raat bhi nikla tha magar us ka wajud

tang aa jate hain dariya jo kuhistanon mein

ejaz hai ye teri pareshan-nazari ka

hamesha zulm ke manzar hamein dikhae gae
