firaq-e-yar ne bechain mujh ko raat bhar rakkha
kabhi takiya idhar rakkha kabhi takiya idhar rakkha

shikast-e-dil ka baqi hum ne ghurbat mein asar rakha
likha ahl-e-watan ko khat to ek gosha katar rakkha

barabar aaine ke bhi na samjhe qadr wo dil ki
ise zer-e-qadam rakkha use pesh-e-nazar rakkha

mitae dida-o-dil donon mere ashk-e-khunin ne
ajab ye tifl abtar tha na ghar rakkha na dar rakkha

tumhaare sang-e-dar ka ek tukda bhi jo hath aaya
aziz aisa kiya mar kar use chhati pe dhar rakkha

jinan mein sath apne kyun na le jaunga naseh ko
suluk aisa hi mere sath hai hazrat ne kar rakkha

na ki kis ne sifarish meri waqt-e-qatl qatil se
kaman ne hath jode tegh ne qadmon pe sar rakkha

ghazab barse wo mere aate hi malum hota hai
jagah khali jo pai yar ko ghairon ne bhar rakkha

bada ehsan hai mere sar pe us ki laghzish-e-pa ka
ki is ne be-tahasha hath mere dosh par rakkha

zamin mein dana-e-gandum sadaf mein hum hue gauhar
hamare ijz ne har marka mein hum ko dar rakkha

tere har naqsh-e-pa ko rahguzar mein sajda-gah samjhe
jahan tu ne qadam rakkha wahan main ne bhi sar rakkha

amir achchha shagun-e-mai kiya saqi ki furqat mein
jo barsa abr-e-rahmat ja-e-mai shishon mein bhar rakkha
