sañg-e-tiflāñ fidā-e-sar na huā

aaj us kūche meñ guzar na huā

ham bhī the jauhar-e-girāñ-māya

par koī sāhib-e-nazar na huā

amn-ālam meñ kyuuñ nahīñ yā rab

is ke qābil magar bashar na huā

be-kasī parda-dār-e-dard huī

ḳhair guzrī ki apnā ghar na huā

qadrdānī kī kaifiyat mālūm

aib kyā hai agar hunar na huā

sar jhukā.e jo aate ho 'vahshat'

magar is bazm meñ guzar na huā
