sadiyoñ tavīl raat ke zaanū se sar uThā
sūraj ufuq se jhāñk rahā hai nazar uThā
itnī burī nahīñ hai khañDar kī zamīn bhī
is Dher ko sameT na.e bām-o-dar uThā
mumkin hai koī haath samundar lapeT de
kashtī meñ sau shigāf hoñ lañgar magar uThā
shāḳh-e-chaman meñ aag lagā kar gayā thā kyuuñ
ab ye azāb-e-dar-badrī umr bhar uThā
manzil pe aa ke dekh rahā huuñ maiñ aa.ina
kitnā ġhubār thā jo sar-e-rahguzar uThā
sahrā meñ thoḌī der Thaharnā ġhalat na thā
le gard-bād baiTh gayā ab to sar uThā
dastak meñ koī dard kī ḳhushbū zarūr thī
darvāza kholne ke liye ghar kā ghar uThā
'qaisar' matā-e-dil kā ḳharīdār kaun hai
bāzār ujaḌ gayā hai dukān-e-hunar uThā
