gar nashe meñ koī be-fikr-o-ta.ammul bāñdhe

chashm-e-mai-gūñ ko tirī jām-e-pur-az-mul bāñdhe

zikr-e-qāmat meñ agar fikr taraqqī na kare

rashk-e-tūbā to likhe go ba-tanazzul bāñdhe

tab.a kī silsila-jumbāñ jo pareshānī ho

gesū-e-ġhāliya sā ko tire sumbul bāñdhe

naala to vo hai ki ghabrā ke uThā de parda

lek nazzāre kī himmat bhī tahammul bāñdhe

kuchh na ban aa.egī jab luuT machāegī ḳhizāñ

ġhuncha har chand girah kas ke zar-e-gul bāñdhe

rū-ba-rū us ke lab-e-arz-e-tamannā na hile

zor-e-afsūn-e-nazar se ga.e bilkul bāñdhe

haiñ tire band-e-qabā uqda-e-dushvār mire

ki jo khole na khule aur jo ga.e khul bāñdhe

na bache par na bache sail-e-fanā se na bache

gar koī kañgura-e-charḳh pe bhī pul bāñdhe

aañkh khulne bhī na paa.ī thī ki us ne fauran

band burqe ke ba-andāz-e-taġhāful bāñdhe

haa.e vo said ki sayyād ke pīchhe lapke

sar ko fitrāk pe har-dam ba-tafāvul bāñdhe
