duniya mein yahi chor banata hai asas ko
allah kare qata kahin dast-e-hawas ko

dil deta hun main qamat-e-dil-dar ko apna
latkata hun main nakhl-e-mohabbat mein qafas ko

jaisa ki ye dil dam-e-mohabbat mein phansa hai
kam dekhta hun murgh-e-giraftar-e-qafas ko

nikle hain khat-o-khal lab-e-yar ke nazdik
allah ne diya shahd-o-shakar mor-o-magas ko

daudati hai ye ruh meri jism ko har-su
aswar udata hai zamane mein faras ko

zakhm-e-dil-e-shaida hua achchha na masiha
khayyat-e-azal sil na saka chaak-e-qafas ko

rahte the ham-aghosh jawani mein buton se
is piri ke aate hi tarasne lage mas ko

kab pech se is rishtha-e-ulfat ke chhutunga
todunga na jab tak ki main is tar-e-nafas ko

bimari-e-ulfat se jo main bach gaya naseh
tal jaunga ab ki kahin do-chaar baras ko

daman ka nishan hai na gareban ka pata hai
ai dast-e-junun manta hun main tere bas ko

sayyaad jo dekhe mujhe ulfat ki nazar se
gulzar se behtar kahin samjhun main qafas ko

ai dil kabhi kahne ka nahin raaz-e-mohabbat
is dasht mein dauda na tabiat ke faras ko

dil deta hai us tifl-e-pari-zad ko nadan
kyun 'muntahi' shoale se bhidata hai tu khas ko
