Naqsh faryaadi hai kis ki shokhi-e-tehreer ka. 

 mubarak baad asad

 lekin yehi ke "raft" gaya aur "bood" tha

 kehtay ho: "na den ge hum, dil agar para paya".

 Kuch khyaal aaya tha vehshat ka ke sehra jal gaya.

 Jo teri bazm se nikla so pareshaan nikla.

 dil bhi agar gaya, to vohi dil ka dard tha.

 shumaar-e-subha marghoob e but-e-mushkil pasand aaya. 

 dahr mein naqsh e wafa waja e tasalli na hua

 yeh na thi hamari qismat keh wasaal-e-yaar hota.

 dard mannat kash e dawa nah hua.

  na tha kuch, to khuda tha, kuch na hota, to khuda hota. 

 Aah ko chahiye ek umr asar honay tak. 

 Kaafir hoon gar na milti ho raahat azaab mein. 

 ishq ka us ko gumaan ham bezabaanon per nahin.

 dil laga kar, lag gaya un ko bhi tanha baithna.

 zamaana sakht kam aazaar hai bajaane e asad.

 daaim para hua tere dar par nahin hoon main.

 dil hi to hai, na sang o khisht, dard se bhar na aaye kyoon? 

 Ek shama hai daleel-e-sahar, so khamosh hai.

 har ek baat pe kehtay ho tum keh "tu kya hai".

 Kabhi neki bhi us ke ji mein gar aajaaye hai mujh se

 Duniya mere aagay.

 Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam niklay

 Ghabra gaya tha ji biyabaan se
