Dhamki mai'n mar gaya jo na baab_e nabard tha,
ishq nabrad_e paisha talabgaar_e mard tha,

tha zindagi main marg ka khatka laga howa,
urney sey paishter bhi mera rang zard tha,

taleef nuskha hi wafa kar raha tha main,
majmoa_e khayyal abhi fard fard tha,

dill ta jigar, k saahil_e darya_e khoo.n hay abb,
is reh guzar main jalwa_e gull, Aa k gard tha,

jaati hay koi kashmakash undoh_e ishq ki,
dill bhi agar gaya, tu wohi dill ka dard tha,

ehbaab chara saazi_e wehshat na kar sakey,
zindaa.n main bhi khayyal_e bayabaa.n navard tha,

ye laash be-kafan, Asad_e khasta jaa.n ki hay,
huq_e maghfirat karey, ajab Aazad mard thaa.
