Abas hain naseha humse za-KHud-rafton ki tadbiren

abas hain naseha hum se za-KHud-rafton ki tadbiren
ruke hai bahr kab go mauj se hon lakh zanjiren

hamari aah se aage to patthar aab hote the
pa kya jaane wo ab kidhar gain nale ki tasiren

ye ek surat hai gar khinche wo mere yar ka naqsha
main kab manon hun yun mani likhe gar lakh taswiren

lagai aag pani mein ye kis ke aks ne pyare
ki ham-digar chali hain mauj se dariya mein shamshiren

suna hi main na gosh-e-lutf se ahwal ko mere
chhupi thin warna KHamoshi mein apni lakh taqriren

rakhe hai hosh agar tu qasr kar tul-e-imarat ka
ki is buniyaad par kab tak karega tu ye tamiren

gareban ki to 'qaem' muddaton dhajjiyen uDai hain
pa KHatir jama us din howe jab sine ko hum chiren
