dagh-e-dil apna jab dikhata huun
rashk se shama ko jalata huun
vo mira shokh hai nipat chanchal
bhaag jaata hai jab bulata huun
us pari-ru ko dekhta huun jab
ho ke divana sudh bhulata huun
mujh ko deta hai galiyan uth kar
niind se jab use jagata huun
jab mujhe gherta hai gham ‘taban’
saghar-e-mai ko bhar pilata huun
