jab kucha-e-qatil mein hum lae gae honge

to pahle mera hi haal-e-tabah likh lije

hum chaTanon ki tarah sahil pe Dhaale jaenge

rahin-e-as rahi hai na mahw-e-yas rahi

fasl-e-gul kab luTi nahin malum

daur-e-hazir ki bazm mein bekal

yun to kai kitaben paDhin zehn mein magar

hum bhaTakte rahe andhere mein

badan ki aanch se sanwla gae hain pairahan

har ek lahza meri dhaDkanon mein chubhti thi
