dil-o-jigar ko mere dagh-dar rahne de
kisi ki sine mein hai yaadgar rahne de

labon pe mauj-e-tabassum ho aankh mein aansu
khizan mein partaw-e-rang-e-bahaar rahne de

shikast-e-lazzat-e-girya hai karb-e-ruhani
main ashk-bar bhala ashk-bar rahne de

nahin nahin mujhe rahat ki aarzu hi nahin
isi tarah se mujhe be-qarar rahne de

na mauj-e-ashk hasinan pe bhul ai 'altaf'
na dhund in mein dur-e-shahwar rahne de
