Faqiri mein

faqiri mein bhi KHush-waqti ke
kuchh saman faraham the

KHayalon ke bagule
muztarib jazbon ke hangame,

talatum bahr-e-hasti mein
tamawwuj-e-ruh ke ban mein,

ajab aftan o KHizan marhale pahnai shab ke,
taDap gham-ha-e-hijran ki

larazti aarzu didar-e-jaanan ki
adam-abaad ke sahra mein ek zarra

ki misl-e-qatra-e-simab larzida
sadaf mein zehn ke jun

ghauhar-e-kamyab poshida
dil-e-sad-para

ju-e-gham
larazti kashti-e-ehsas

jahan-bini ka dil mein azm-e-duzdida
faqiri mein yahi asbab-e-hasti tha yahi dard-e-tah-e-jam-e-tamanna tha

yahi saman bacha lete to achchha tha
faqiri mein magar ye kaun si uftad aai hai

ki saman luT gaya rahon mein kasa dil ka KHali hai
