jise pala tha ek muddat tak aaghosh-e-tamanna mein

kaba o dair mein jalwa nahin yaksan un ka

mere danton ki umr ai aarzu mujhse bhi chhoTi thi

kisi ko kya KHabar ai subh waqt-e-sham kya hoga

ye raat bhayanak hijr ki hai kaTenge baDe aalam se hum

ye bazm-e-mai hai yan kotah-dasti mein hai mahrumi

hazar shukr main tere siwa kisi ka nahin

hun is kuche ke har zarre se aagah

ab bhi ek umr pe jine ka na andaz aaya

kahan se laun sabr-e-hazrat-e-ayyub ai saqi

har tarah ki dil mein chah kar ke chhoDe

aKHlaq se jahl ilm-o-fan se ghafil

saqi ke karam se faiz ye jari hai

shahron mein phire na su-e-sahra nikle

haqqa ki wo jada-e-wafa se bhi phira
