husn-e-fani par hum apna dil fida karte rahe
ab pasheman hain ki sari umr kya karte hain

hum samajhte hain janab-e-shaikh kya karte rahe
hur-o-ghilman ke liye yaad-e-khuda karte rahe

zabt-e-girya zabt-e-nala zabt-e-faryaad-o-fughan
ishq mein jo kuchh bhi hum se ho saka karte rahe

kis tarah soe pade hain chain se zer-e-mazar
jo zamin par har ghadi mahshar bapa karte rahe

sach agar puchho to hum kafir bhi hain momin bhi hain
but-kada mein baith kar yaad-e-khuda karte rahe

maut hi aakhir ilaj-e-kargar sabit hui
dard-e-dil badhta raha jun jun dawa karte rahe

ahl-e-himmat ne to ai 'simab' manzil mar li
hum magar hirman-nasibi ka gila karte rahe
