taDapti dekhta hun jab koi shai

fikr hai shauq-e-kamar ishq-e-dahan paida karun

waqt-e-rawa-rawi hai uThe qafila ke log

jaane de sabr o qarar o hosh ko

subh hoti hai sham hoti hai

dimagh de jo KHuda gulshan-e-mohabbat mein

dil dhaDakta hai shab-e-gham mein kahin aisa na ho

kya KHabar mujhko KHizan kya chiz hai kaisi bahaar

umr bhar rashk-e-adu sath tha kahta kya haal

dil-lagi mein hasrat-e-dil kuchh nikal jati to hai

bas ki thi rone ki aadat wasl mein bhi yar se

Khaali sahi bala se tasalli to dil ko ho

zamane se nirala hai urus-e-fikr ka jauban

gar yahi hai pas-e-adab-e-sukut

aas kya ab to umid-e-na-ummidi bhi nahin
