Khatm-e-shor-e-tufan tha dur thi siyahi bhi, 
dam ke dam men afasana thi meri tabahi bhi,

Iltafat samajhun ya berukhi kahun is ko, 
rah gai khalish ban kar usaki kamanigahi bhi,

Yad kar vo din jis din teri sakhtgiri par ,
ashk bhar ke uthi thi meri begunahi bhi,

Shama bhi ujala bhi main hi apani mahafil ka, 
main hi apani manzil ka rahabar bhi rahi bhi,

Gumbadon se palati hai apani hi sada "majrooh", 
masjidon men ki jake main ne dadakhvahi bhi.
