dukhoñ ke phuul to haiñ zaḳhm to hai daaġh to hai
harā-bharā mire siine meñ koī baaġh to hai
nahīñ hai vasl magar ḳhvāb-e-vasl bhī hai bahut
zarā sī der ġham-e-hijr se farāġh to hai
bahut ujāḌe sahī umr kī sarā.e magar
shikasta taaq meñ ik yaad kā charāġh to hai
maiñ tishnagī kā gilā kyā karūñ ki sūrat-e-dil
lahū kī mai se chhalaktā huā ayāġh to hai
tū kho gayā hai mire shahr-e-raftagāñ lekin
ye ek dard kī ḳhushbū tirā surāġh to hai
