KahiN khayaam lageN qarya E wisaal bhi aaye  
Shab e safar men koi sa’at E zawaal bhi aaye  
Kisi ufaQ  pe to ho ittesaal E zulmat O noor
K hum kharaab bhi hoN, aur vo khush khesaal bhi aaye
Sukhan mein kab se hai raushan! ye kya zaruri hai
K woh sitaara sar E matla’ E misaal bhi aaye  
Suna hai sair ko nikli hui hai mauj E nishaat  
Ajab nahi hai taraf E kucha E malaal bhi bhi aaye  
HameN ‘atiyya E tark E talab qubool na tha  
So hum to uski inayat pe khaak daal bhi aaye
