kabhee ho saka to bataoonga tujhe raaz-e-aalam-e-khair-o-shar
ki main rah chuka hoon shuroo se gahe aizd-o-gahe aharaman
vo fusoon phoonka ki vahashee bhee mohazzab ho gae
kar gaya kya sehar maana ishq baazeegar na tha
tamaam shabanam-o-gul hai vo sar se ta-ba-qadam
ruke ruke se kuchh aansoo rukee rukee see hansee
tasavvur mein tujhe zauq-e-ham-aagoshee ne bheencha tha
bahaaren kat gaee hain aaj tak pahaloo mahakata hai
usee duniya ke kuchh naqsh-o-nigaar ashar hain mere
jo paida ho rahee hai haqq-o-baatil ke tasaadum se
farsh-e-may-khaana pe jalate chale jaate hain charaag
deedanee hai tiree aahista-ravee ai saaqee
jannat-e-soofiya nisaar dahar kee musht-e-khaak par
aashiq-e-arz-e-paak ko daavat-e-la-makaan na de
