uTThā huuñ ik hujūm-e-tamannā liye hue

duniyā se jā rahā huuñ maiñ duniyā liye hue

muddat se garche jalva-gah-e-tūr se ḳhamosh

āñkheñ haiñ ab bhī zauq-e-tamāshā liye hue

duniyā-e-ārzū se kināra to kar ke dekh

duniyā khaḌī hai daulat-e-duniyā liye hue

roz-e-azal se ishq hai nākām-e-ārzū

dil hai magar hujūm-e-tamannā liye hue

ai kam-nigāh dīda-e-dil se nigāh kar

har zarra hai haqīqat-e-sahrā liye hue

hastī kī sub.h kaun sī mahfil kā hai ma.aal

āñkheñ khulī haiñ hasrat-e-jalva liye hue

din-bhar mirī nazar meñ hai vo yūsuf-e-bahār

aatī hai raat ḳhvāb-e-zuleḳhā liye hue

dil phir chalā hai le ke tire āstāñ kī samt

apnī shikastagī kā sahārā liye hue

vo din kahāñ ki thī mujhe jiine kī aarzū

phirtā huuñ ab to dil kā janāzā liye hue
