بے اعتدالیوں سے سبک سب میں ہم ہوئے

Be-aitedaliyon se sabuk sab mein hum hue

Jitne ziyada ho gaye utne hi kam hue

Pinhan tha dam-e-sakht qareeb aashiyan ke

Urne na paye the ke giraftar hum hue

Hasti hamari apni fana par daleel hai

Yan tak mite ke aap hum apni qasam hue

Sakhti-kashan-e-ishq ki poochhe hai kya khabar

Woh log rafta rafta sarapa alam hue

Teri wafa se kya ho talafi ke dahr mein

Tere siwa bhi hum pe bahut se sitam hue

Likhte rahe junoon ki hikayat-ha-e-khoon-chakan

Har chand is mein haath hamare qalam hue

Allah re teri tundi-e-khu jis ke baim se

Ajza-e-nala dil mein mere reza hum hue

Ahl-e-hawas ki fatah hai tark-e-nubard-e-ishq

Jo paon uth gaye wohi un ke alam hue

Nale adam mein chand hamare supurd the

Jo wan na khinch sake so woh yan aa ke dam hue

Chhodi Asad na hum ne gadai mein dil lagi

Sail hue to aashiq-e-ahl-e-karam hue
