chaak-e-daman na raha chaak-e-gareban na raha
phir bhi poshida mera haal-e-pareshan na raha

bazm-e-dushman na kabhi darham-o-barham dekhi
kya tera daur wo ai gardish-e-dauran na raha

mujh ko afsos ki wo aur adu ke bas mein
us ko ye gham ki mera ab koi pursan na raha

hum ne jo baat kahi thi wahi aakhir ko hui
tum ne jo raaz chhupaya tha wo pinhan na raha

munfail tark-e-wafa ne mujhe barson rakkha
chaar din apne kiye par wo pasheman na raha

un ki shokhi bhi hui hai meri wahshat ka jawab
hath dala jo gareban mein gareban na raha

ban gai dagh kaleje ka tamanna-e-visal
dagh-e-hasrat ke siwa ab koi arman na raha

khair sab qaul-o-qasam jhut sahi khush rahiye
ab mere aap ke wo ahd wo paiman na raha

rokne ko mujhe ghairat ke siwa is dar par
koi darban na raha koi nigahban na raha

mit gaya shaghl-e-junun ab wo kahan jama-dari
zor wahshat ka bhi ab dast-o-gareban na raha

chaar jhidki mein tere dar se alag ho baitha
ghair kuchh roz bhi minnat-kash-e-darban na raha

waqt ko hath se kho kar koi duniya mein 'hafiz'
umr-bhar meri tarah sar-ba-gareban na raha
