jab kabhī dard kī tasvīr banāne nikle
zaḳhm kī tah meñ ka.ī zaḳhm purāne nikle
chain miltā hai tire shauq ko puurā kar ke
varna ai laḳht-e-jigar kaun kamāne nikle
vaqt kī gard meñ paivast the sab zaḳhm mire
jab chalī tez havā laakh fasāne nikle
ye kisī taur bhī allāh ko manzūr nahīñ
ki tū ehsān kare aur jatāne nikle
pahle nafrat kī vo dīvār girā.e 'ahyā'
phir mohabbat kā nayā shahr basāne nikle
