har roz hi imroz ko farda na karoge
wada ye karo phir kabhi wada na karoge

ye man liya ahd-e-wafa bhul chuke ho
kya bhul ke bhi tum hamein chaha na karoge

mahfil se hi uth jaenge hum aise qaba-chaak
wahshat ka hamari kabhi shikwa na karoge

achchha tha ki jab aariza-e-hijr nahin tha
achchha hai ki ab tum kabhi achchha na karoge

jis raaz mein shamil hai hamara bhi fasana
us raaz ko kya hum pe bhi ifsha na karoge

mar jaega dil hasrat-e-anwar-e-sahar mein
be-parda agar tum rukh-e-zeba na karoge

kya aur na tha tark-e-talluq ka bahana
sunte hain ki ab tum hamein ruswa na karoge

samjho to 'zahir' un ki nigahon ke ishaare
kya aaj bhi izhaar-e-tamanna na karoge
