vahi be-baki-e-ushshaq hai darkar ab bhi
hai vahi silsila-e-atash-o-gulzar ab bhi
ab bhi maujud hai vo bai.at-e-fasiq ka saval
aur matlub hai vo jur.at-e-inkar ab bhi
hain kahan ishq men ghar-bar luTane vaale
ḳhu-e-isar se maghlub hain ansar ab bhi
koi yusuf to zamana kare paida ‘ajmal’
nazar aa sakti hai vo garmi-e-bazar ab bhi
