bejā na thā uTh baiThnā bechainī se merā
shab sāmne āñkhoñ ke vo tasvīr khaḌī thī
ik haath dharā dil pe ik añgusht dahan meñ
yuuñ kushta-e-ulfat kī tire laash paḌī thī
us gauhar-e-yaktā kī jo maiñ yaad meñ royā
har ashk-e-musalsal mirā motī kī laḌī thī
sadme se shab-e-hijr ke jiitā jo bachā tū
bīmār-e-tap-e-hijr tirī umr baḌī thī
kī us ne hai āsān dam-e-teġh se varna
manzil ye 'shu.ūr' apne liye saḳht kaḌī thī
