dard-e-dil ki unhen khabar na hui
koi tadbir kargar na hui

koshishen hum ne kin hazar magar
ishq mein ek mo'tabar na hui

kar chuke hum ko be-gunah shahid
aap ki aankh phir bhi tar na hui

na-rasa aah-e-ashiqan wo kahan
dur un se jo be-asar na hui

aai bujhne ko apni sham-e-hayat
shab-e-gham ki magar sahar na hui

shab the hum garm-e-nala-ha-e-firaq
subh ek aah-e-sard sar na hui

tum se kyunkar wo chhup sake 'hasrat'
nigah-e-shauq parda dar na hui
