dil talabgar sahi hashr-ba-daman kyuun hai
nala-zan shoala-ba-kaf shauq-e-faravan kyuun hai
mahfil-e-saz-o-tarab matla-e-viran kyuun hai
sheva-o-sabr-o-sukun dil se gurezan kyuun hai
khinch laaya tha jo us dil ko tiri mahfil men
vahi andaz-e-nazar aaj pasheman kyuun hai
surangon raah men har-gam hua jaata hai
muzmahil khu-e-safar dard pasheman kyuun hai
talkhi-e-kam-o-dahan kashmakash-e-zehn-o-vajud
ek hasti ke liye ye sar-o-saman kyuun hai
dasht-paimai men bhi vahshat-e-jan itni na thi
tishnagi sahil-e-dariya pe hirasan kyuun hai
