thī lagan sunte tirī shoḳhī-e-pā kī aahaT
mujh ko chauñkātī rahī bād-e-sabā kī aahaT
rāt-bhar qāfila yādoñ kā rahā dil meñ muqīm
kaan meñ aatī rahī us kaf-e-pā kī aahaT
chaap qadmoñ kī tire kaash sunā.ī detī
pai-ba-pai aatī hai ab paik-e-qazā kī aahaT
'qādrī' tez karo sham-e-yaqīñ tez karo
raat tārīk hai aatī hai balā kī aahaT
