bahut pahunche to un ke kakul-o-ruḳhsar tak pahunche
magar ashiq na ab tak ishq ke me.aar tak pahunche
daba.in dhaḌkanen ankhon ko jhuThlaya gaya barson
baḌi mushkil se vo inkar se iqrar tak pahunche
abhi to raushni uljhi hai tariki ke tufan se
na jaane kab talak apne dar-o-divar tak pahunche
chuḌao gar chhuḌa sakte ho daman-e-vafa ham se
magar aisa na ho ye baat bhi aghyar tak pahunche
zaban ki aarzu men Thokaren khate hue naghme
rubab-o-chang se talvar ki jhankar tak pahunche
