fareb-ḳhurda-e-paimān-e-yār honā thā
rahīn-e-kashmakash-e-intizār honā thā
likhīñ azal se thiiñ mahrūmiyāñ muqaddar meñ
nishāna-e-sitam-e-rozgār honā thā
taġhāful aap kā sheva sahī magar kuchh to
ḳhayāl-e-ḳhātir-e-ummīd-vār honā thā
ġhazab huā ki sahar se hī pahle dil Duubā
abhī kuchh aur shab-e-intizār honā thā
