sadiyon ke baad hosh mein jo aa raha hun main

silsila-dar-silsila juzw-e-ada hona hi tha

dur tak ek sarab dekha hai

rahraw-e-rah-e-KHarabaat-e-chaman

Tek laga kar baiTha hun main jis buDhi diwar ke sath

KHamosh zamzame hain mera harf-e-zar chup

zer-e-baam gumbad-e-KHazra azan

mujhe zaman-o-makan ki hudud mein na rakh

meri KHak mein wila ka na koi sharar hota

be-murawwat hain to wapas hi uTha le shab-o-roz

mujhko teri chahat zinda rakhti hai

baal baal duniya par us ka hi ijara hai

dasht mein dhup ki bhi kami hai kahan

andheron se ulajhne ki koi tadbir karna hai

purane rang mein ashk-e-gham taza milata hun
