pichhle ko uTh khaḌā na ho dard-e-jigar kahīñ
pahuñche na uḌte uḌte kahīñ se ḳhabar kahīñ
kaifiyyat-e-hayāt se ḳhālī huā hai dil
o sāqī-e-azal mirā paimāna bhar kahīñ
mar jā.eñge taḌap ke asīrān-e-bad-nasīb
sun pā.eñge jo muzda-e-vahshat-asar kahīñ
phaḌkā kiye muraqqa-e-ālam ke husn par
Thahrī kabhī na ahl-e-havas kī nazar kahīñ
āḳhir hijāb-o-sharm kī had bhī hai mehrbāñ
parda ulaT na de mirī āh-e-sahar kahīñ
din vāda-e-visāl kā nazdīk aa chukā
phir der kyā hai 'yās' are kambaḳht mar kahīñ
