Juz qais aur koi na aaya be ru'ye kaar,
Sehra magar bah tangiy e chashm e husood tha
Aashuftagi ne naqsh e suwaida kiya durust,
Zaahir hua ke daagh ka sarmaya dood tha
Tha khuaab mein khayal ko tujh se muamila,
Jab aankh khul gai, na zaiyan tha na sood tha
Laita hon maktab e gham e dil mein sabaq, hunooz,
Lekin yehi ke raft, gaya aur bood tha
Dhaanpa kafan ne dagh e uyoob e barhangi,
Main, warna har libas mein nang e wujood tha
Teeshe bagair, mar na sako kohkan, Asad!
Sargashta e khumar e rusoom o quyood tha !!
