shaakhon se toot jaayen vo patte nahin hain ham aandhi se koi kah de ki auqaat men rahe

sochun to saari umr mohabbat men kat gaii dekhooñ to ek shaKHs bhi meraa nahin hua

teri soorat se hai aalam men bahaaron ko sabaat teri aankhoñ ke siva duniya men rakha kya hai

hazaaron saal nargis apni be-noori pe roti hai badi mushkil se hota hai chaman men deeda-war paida

kuchh na rah sakaa jahaan viraaniyaan to rah gaiin tum chale ga.e to kya kahaaniyaan to rah gaiin

na pooch haal mira chob-e-khushk-e-sehra hooñ laga ke aag mujhe kaarwaan ravana hua

be-ginati bose lenge rukh-e-dil-pasand ke aashiq tire parhe nahin ilm-e-hisaab ko

kuchh nazar aata nahin us ke tasavvur ke siva hasrat-e-deedaar ne aankhoñ ko andha kar diya

uth gaii hain saamne se kaisi kaisi sooraten roiyie kis ke li.e kis kis ka maatam keejie
