khizan-nasib ki hasrat ba-ru-e-kar na ho
bahaar shoabada-e-chashm-e-intizar na ho

fareb-khurda-e-ulfat se puchhiye kya hai
wo ek ahd-e-mohabbat ki ustuwar na ho

nazar ko tab-e-nazara na dil ko jurat-e-did
jamal-e-yar se yun koi sharmsar na ho

qaba-darida-o-daman-o-astin khunin
gulon ke bhes mein ye koi dil-figar na ho

na ho sakega wo ramz-ashna-e-kaif-e-hayat
jo qalb chashm-e-taghaful ka raazdar na ho

tariq-e-ishq pe hansti to hai khirad lekin
ye gumrahi kahin manzil se ham-kanar na ho

na tana-zan ho koi ahl-e-hosh maston par
ki zoam-e-hosh bhi ek aalam-e-khumar na ho

wo kya batae ki kya shai umid hoti hai
jise nasib kabhi sham-e-intizar na ho

ye chashm-e-lutf mubarak magar dil-e-nadan
payam-e-ishwa-e-rangin sala-e-dar na ho

kisi ke lab pe jo aae nawed-e-zist bane
wahi hadis-e-wafa jis pe eatibar na ho

jo do-jahan bhi mange to main ne kya manga
wo kya talab jo ba-qadr-e-ata-e-yar na ho
