kyā daur hai ki jo bhī suḳhnavar milā mujhe
gum-gashta apnī zaat ke andar milā mujhe
kis pyaar se gayā thā tirī āstīñ ke paas
shāḳh-e-hinā kī chaah meñ ḳhanjar milā mujhe
is zulmat-e-hayāt meñ ik lafz pyaar kā
jab mil gayā to māh-e-munavvar milā mujhe
sūrat-garān-e-asr kā thā intizār-kash
terī rah-e-talab meñ jo patthar milā mujhe
roz-e-azal se kār-gah-e-hast meñ 'suhail'
dil hī ġham-e-hayāt kā mehvar milā mujhe
