lafz likhnā hai to phir kāġhaz kī niyyat se na Dar

is qadar iz.hār kī be-ma.anaviyyat se na Dar

dekh! gulshan meñ abhī shāḳh-e-tahayyur bāñjh hai

phuul honā hai to khilne kī aziyyat se na Dar

hamrah-e-mausam safar kī bastiyoñ ke darmiyāñ

naqsh-bar-dīvār bārish kī vasiyyat se na Dar

ek halkī sī sadā to bin zabāñ rakhtā hai tū

chaar jānib ḳhāmushī kī aksariyyat se na Dar

āsmāñ ik din patiñgā ho sar-e-sham-e-zamīñ

mom kar apne lahū ko jal aziyyat se na Dar
