hashr tak yan dil shakeba chahiye
kab milen dilbar se dekha chahiye

hai tajalli bhi naqab-e-ru-e-yar
us ko kin aankhon se dekha chahiye

ghair-mumkin hai na ho tasir-e-gham
haal-e-dil phir us ko likkha chahiye

hai dil-afgaron ki dildari zarur
gar nahin ulfat madara chahiye

hai kuchh ek baqi khalish ummid ki
ye bhi mit jae to phir kya chahiye

doston ki bhi na ho parwa jise
be-niyazi us ki dekha chahiye

bha gae hain aap ke andaz o naz
kijiye ighmaz jitna chahiye

shaikh hai in ki nigah jadu bhari
sohbat-e-rindan se bachna chahiye

lag gai chup 'haali'-e-ranjur ko
haal is ka kis se puchha chahiye
