sukut-e-marg mein kyun rah-e-naghma-gar dekhun

wo jis ka rang salona hai baadalon ki tarah

yahi nahin ki faqat teri justuju bhi main

udas udas sar-e-saghar-o-subu bhi main

yun to har ek shaKHs hi talib samar ka hai

is ehtimam se parwane peshtar na jale

shikast-e-abla-e-dil mein naghmagi hai bahut

azmat-e-fikr ke andaz ayan bhi honge

jo lab pe na laun wahi sheron mein kahun main

har shaKHs ko aise dekhta hun

jab bhi teri qurbat ke kuchh imkan nazar aae

apni aankhon se to dariya bhi sarab-asa mile

kis munh se zindagi ko wo raKHshanda kah saken

nazar nazar se wo kaliyan khila khila bhi gaya

bedil ka taKHayyul hun na ghaalib ki nawa hun
