dukhata hai mira dil be alif re
hua huun ranj se main ze alif re
udain dhajjiyan bhi tu ne lekin
chhuta daman na tujh se khe alif re
gareban-gir hai ye jo vahshat
na rakkha naam ko bhi te alif re
khushi se kaat le qatil mira sar
hua hai ab to mujh ko be alif re
nigahon ko kahun kyun-kar na barchhi
ki siine se hui hain pe alif re
ilahi ze alif re to hua huun
pa chashm-e-ghair men huun khe alif re
liya hai dil tumhara us ne ‘anjum’
kare ankhen vo kyunkar che alif re
tasavvur gul-rukhon ka ‘asman’ kyuun
gale ka ho gaya hai he alif re
