Kisay milay ghaat ka kinarah kidhar say guzra kahan utara?
Bhara jo misl-e-nazar tarara wo apni Aankhoon say khud chupay thay
Uthay jo qasr-e-dana kay parday koi khabar day to kia khabar day?
Wahan to ja hi nahi duiye ki na keh ke wo bhi na thay aray thay
Wo bag kuch ayesa rang laaya ke guncha-o-gul ka faraq uthaya
Girah man kaliyoon kay baag phoolay guloon kay takmay lagay huway thay
Muheet-o-markaz man faraq mushkil’rahay na fasil khutot wasil
Kamanain Hairat man sar jhukaye ajeeb chakar man dayeray thay
Hijaab uthnay man lakhoon parday, har aek parday man lakhoon jalway
Ajab gharhi thi ke was’l-o-furqat,Jahannam kay bichrhay galay milay thay
Zabanain sookhi dikha kay mojain tarhp rahi thien ke paani payen
Bhanowr ko ye dhu’af-e-tishnagi tha ke Halqay Aankhoon man parh gay thay
Wo hi awwal wohi hay Aakhir wohi hay batin wohi hay Zahir!
Usi kay jalway, usi say milnay, usi say, us ki taraf gay thay
