ek Dhab pe kabhu wo but-e-khud-kaam na paya

dekha mei.n jo kuchh subh use sham na paya

apni hi hawas ke ye sab uljhaw hai.n warna

is rah mei.n hum ne to kahi.n dam na paya

wo nakhl-e-khiza.n-dida hu.n us dasht mei.n jis ke

saye mei.n kisi pahunche ne bisram na paya

wo be-sar-o-tan hai ye zamana ki ba-in-ghaur

jis ka mai.n kuchh aaghaz aur anjam na paya

fahrist mei.n khuban-e-wafadar ki pyare

dekhi to kahi.n us mei.n tera nam na paya

mamul tha dushnam ewaz apni dua ka

so wo bhi kai din se mai.n inam na paya

yak shab wo kahi.n god mei.n soya tha so 'qayem'

phir baalish-e-makhmal se mai.n aaram na paya
