kisii ke jalve ta.Dap rahe hai.n huduud-e-hosh-o-Khirad ke aage
huduud-e-hosh-o-Khirad ke aage nigaah ke dastaras nahii.n hai

jahaa.N kii nayarangiiyo.n se yaksar badal ga_ii aashiyaa.N kii suurat

kisii ke be'etanaa_iyo.n ne badal hii Daalaa nizaam-e-gulashan
jo baat pahale bahaar me.n thii vo baat ab ke baras nahii.n hai

ye buu-e-sumbul, ye Khaa.ndaa gul aur aah! ye dard bharii sadaaye.N

na hosh-e-Khilvat na fikr-e-mahafil ayaa.N ho ab kis pe haalaat-e-dil
mai.n aap hii apanaa ham-nafas huu.N meraa ko_ii ham-nafas nahii.n hai
