aap ko apnā banāte hue Dar lagtā hai
dil kī duniyā bhī basāte hue Dar lagtā hai
lag na jaa.e kahīñ in phūloñ ko duniyā kī nazar
dāġh-e-dil apne dikhāte hue Dar lagtā hai
ho na jaa.e kahīñ hañgāma-e-mahshar barpā
apnī rūdād sunāte hue Dar lagtā hai
tapish-e-husn na parvāna banā de mujh ko
us ke nazdīk bhī jaate hue Dar lagtā hai
ġharq ho jaa.e na duniyā-e-tasavvur apnī
ashk-e-ġham aañkh meñ laate hue Dar lagtā hai
shaġhl thā dasht-navardī kā kabhī ai 'tābāñ'
ab gulistāñ meñ bhī jaate hue Dar lagtā hai
