ek boodha naheef-o-khasta daraaz
ik zaroorat se jaata tha baazaar
zoph-e-peeree se kham huee thee kamar
raah bechaara chalata tha ruk kar
chand ladakon ko us pe aaee hansee
qad pe phabatee kamaan kee soojhee
kaha ik ladake ne ye usase ki bol
toone kitane mein lee kamaan ye mol
peer mard-e-lateef-o-daanish mand
hans ke kahane laga ki e farazand
pahunchoge meree umr ko jis aan
muft mein mil jaegee tumhen ye kamaan
