do-jahan ko nigah-e-ijz se aksar dekha
hum ne ummid ko hirman ke barabar dekha

talea-e-be-hunari auj-e-falak par dekha
jis jagah wahm na pahuncha tha wahan sar dekha

is bure waqt mein bhi lakh se achchha hun main
main ne mashuq ke parda mein muqaddar dekha

kya kahun qissa-e-dilchaspi-e-haal-e-abtar
doston ne mujhe aghyar se badh kar dekha

ai ajal khub bataya wo qayamat hogi
jis ke aaghosh mein tu ne dil-e-muztar dekha

bekasi-ha-e-tamanna ne sulaya hai mujhe
phir na jagunga agar khwab mein mahshar dekha

yar jab parda-nashin hai to kahan ka parda
parda ye hai ki use parde se bahar dekha

panw phailae hain beja hawas-e-duniya ne
hum ne duniya hi ko lipta hua bistar dekha

is khule zulm ne sab khol diye hain parde
hum ne dekha tujhe sau bar sitamgar dekha

tapka padta hai rag-e-shauq se khun-e-hasrat
kya 'wafa' dast-e-qaza mein koi nashtar dekha
