ġhairat-e-ishq salāmat thī anā zinda thī
vo bhī din the ki rah-o-rasm-e-vafā zinda thī
qais ko dosh na do rakhiyo na farhād ko naam
inhī logoñ se mohabbat kī adā zinda thī
shahr-e-bīmār ke har kūcha o baam o dar par
ham bhī marte the ki jab ḳhalq-e-ḳhudā zinda thī
bujh ga.iiñ sham.eñ to dam toḌ ga.e jhoñke bhī
jis tarah zahr-e-raqābat se havā zinda thī
yād-e-ayyām ki sahrā-e-mohabbat meñ 'farāz'
jaras-e-qāfila-e-dil kī sadā zinda thī
