ajiib saneha mujh par guzar gaya yaaro main apne saae se kal raat dar gaya yaaro har ek naqsh tamanna

aks ko qaid ki parchhain ko zanjir karen saat-e-hijr tujhe kaise jahangir karen paanv ke niche koi shai hai zamin

bahte dariyaon men paani ki kami dekhna hai umr bhar mujh ko yahi tishna-labi dekhna hai ranj dil ko hai

be-tab hain aur ishq ka daava nahin ham ko avara hain aur dasht ka sauda nahin ham ko ghairon ki

bhatak gaya ki manzilon ka vo suragh pa gaya hamare vaste khala men rasta bana gaya surahi dil ki ansuon

bhuli-bisri yadon ki barat nahin aai ik muddat se hijr ki lambi raat nahin aai aati thi jo roz gali

buniyad-e-jahan men kaji kyuun hai har shai men kisi ki kami kyuun hai kyuun chehra-e-khar shagufta hai aur shakh-e-gulab jhuki

dam-e-ulfat se chhutti hi nahin zindagi tujh ko bhulti hi nahin kitne tufan uthae ankhon ne naav yadon ki dubti

dayar-e-dil na raha bazm-e-dostan na rahi amaan ki koi jagah zer-e-asman na rahi ravan hain aaj bhi rag rag men

dekh dariya ko ki tughyani men hai tu bhi mere saath ab paani men hai nuur ye us akhiri bose
