khul gayā uqda-e-hastī to kafan maañg liyā
ziist ne maut se jiine kā chalan maañg liyā
phuuT kar sīna-e-kohsār se bahne ke liye
chashma-e-āb ne dāmān-e-daman maañg liyā
kyā ta.ajjub hai agar maañg lī chehre se naqāb
daur-e-hāzir ne to pairāhan-e-tan maañg liyā
ban gayā halqa-e-zulmat jo paḌā aks-e-zamīñ
chāñd ne ḳhud to nahīñ baḌh ke gahan maañg liyā
jis kī āġhosh meñ maazī kī amānat thī nihāñ
us ne māñgā to vahī qasr-e-kuhan maañg liyā
jalne vāloñ ne bhī shahnāz-e-ġhazal se 'kausar'
husn-e-fan maañg liyā rañg-e-suḳhan maañg liyā
