gardish-e-sayyārgāñ ḳhuub hai apnī jagah
aur ye apnā makāñ ḳhuub hai apnī jagah
ai dil-e-āshufta-sar raat añdherī hai par
raqs tirā sham.a-sāñ ḳhuub hai apnī jagah
kāġhaz-e-ātish-zada terī hikāyat hī kyā
phir bhī tamāshā-e-jāñ ḳhuub hai apnī jagah
hijr-nazhādoñ kā hai ek alag hī jahāñ
us se na milnā yahāñ ḳhuub hai apnī jagah
sair-e-bayābāñ-o-dar uqda-kushā niiz
rañj-e-masāfat miyāñ ḳhuub hai apnī jagah
chehra-e-bilqīs par aañkh Thahartī nahīñ
sub.h-e-yaman kā samāñ ḳhuub hai apnī jagah
