dard-o-gham ko hasti-e-kam-maya ka hasil samajh
dars-gah-e-ishq ki ye ramz ai ghafil samajh

justuju-dar-justuju aasan har mushkil samajh
gham na kar tadbir ko taqdir ka hasil samajh

bhul kar bhi koi harf-e-dil-shikan lab par na la
haq to ye hai dusre ke dil ko apna dil samajh

rah-e-ulfat mein jise gum-gashtagi hasil hui
aise khush-taqdir ko aasuda-e-manzil samajh

lazzat-e-lutf-o-tarab gham-ashna rahne mein hai
jaan ko har haal mein aazar ke qabil samajh

pa-e-istiqlal mein laghzish na aa jae kahin
azm-e-rasikh hi ko apna rahbar-e-kaamil samajh

ahd-e-mazi ko na ro taqdir ka matam na kar
haal ki rudad hi ko apna mustaqbil samajh

baryabi hosh ki bazi laga dene mein hai
bargah-e-husn mein hushiyar ko ghafil samajh

nakhuda to kya khuda ka bhi sahaara chhod de
qulzum-e-hasti mein har girdab ko sahil samajh

ab zamana bar-e-ehsan sar pe lene ka nahin
rukh zamane ki hawa ka dekh ai ghafil samajh

bagh-e-alam ki bahaaren sab khizan-anjam hain
aish-samani ko wajh-e-khastagi-e-dil samajh

ya tariq-e-dost-dari par bharosa hi na kar
ya fareb-e-dosti ke sehr ko baatil samajh

imtiyaz-e-jalwa-o-parda jahan rahta nahin
wo maqam aae to zauq-e-did ko kaamil samajh

kyun kisi begana-wash par dil fida karta hai tu
ai 'rishi' kuchh hosh mein aa apne dil ko dil samajh
