apnī anā kī aaj bhī taskīn ham ne kī
jī bhar ke us ke husn kī tauhīn ham ne kī
lahje kī tez dhaar se zaḳhmī kiyā use
paivast dil meñ lafz kī sañgīn ham ne kī
laa.e ba-rū-e-kār na husn o jamāl ko
mauqa.a thā phir bhī raat na rañgīn ham ne kī
jī bhar ke dil kī maut pe rone diyā use
pursā diyā na sabr kī talqīn ham ne kī
dariyā kī sair karne akele chale ga.e
shām-e-shafaq kī aap hī tahsīn ham ne kī
