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

bhare hon aankh mein aansu KHamida gardan ho

main hairat o hasrat ka mara KHamosh khaDa hun sahil par

kahte hain ahl-e-hosh jab afsana aap ka

main shad tanha ek taraf aur duniya ki duniya ek taraf

izhaar-e-muddaa ka irada tha aaj kuchh

nigah-e-naz se saqi ka dekhna mujhko

kaun si baat nai ai dil-e-nakaam hui

milega ghair bhi un ke gale ba-shauq ai dil

lahad mein kyun na jaun munh chhupae

ek sitam aur lakh adaen uf ri jawani hae zamane
