husn ki wo suraten khwab-e-pareshan ho gain
parda-e-dil mein laga kar aag pinhan ho gain

mit ke bhi aaina-e-rukhsar-e-khuban ho gain
khun-e-ahl-e-ishq ki bunden gulistan ho gain

chhup gain aankhon se zarron mein numayan ho gain
bastiyan ujdi hui mil kar bayaban ho gain

dekhta kaun aur bujhata kaun us dil ki lagi
haddiyan jal jal ke sham-e-zer-e-daman ho gain

zindagi mein kya mujhe milti balaon se najat
jo duaen kin wo sab teri nigahban ho gain

is hawa-e-dahr mein jamiyat-e-khatir kahan
dil ko jaane do ye zulfen kyun pareshan ho gain

zoaf baqi hai koi jis ka nahin pursan-e-haal
quwwaten sab nazr-e-ishq-e-fitna-saman ho gain

lut li gardun ne aakhir dil ki sari kaenat
kuchh tamannaen thin wo bhi waqf-e-nisyan ho gain

dost-dar-e-gul hun main kis ne qafas se kah diya
mujh ko pa kar tiliyan khar-e-mughilan ho gain

kam na samjho dahr mein sarmaya-e-arbab-e-gham
chaar bunden aansuon ki badh ke tufan ho gain

aarzu-e-alam-e-fani tha aadam ka wajud
khwahishen thin jo baham ghul-mil ke insan ho gain

khanuman-barbaadiyon ka mujh pe ehsan hai ki main
un zaminon mein nahin jo bas ke viran ho gain

meri aankhen shor tha jin ki wafa ka har taraf
zakhm dil mein padte hi donon namak-dan ho gain

uqda-ha-e-gham se wabasta hai apni zindagi
hum kahan ye mushkilen jis waqt aasan ho gain

main nisar-e-dast-e-qatil mar ke zinda ho gaya
khanjar-o-shamshir ki dhaaren rag-e-jaan ho gain

ek sarab-e-dasht thin faslen shabab-e-husn ki
dekhte hi dekhte aankhon se pinhan ho gain

kya wafadaron ke ji dube hain josh-e-ishq mein
kashtiyan dil ki hazaron nazr-e-tufan tufan gain

majma-e-ahbab ki rudad 'saqib' kya kahun
ab wo agli sohbaten khwab-e-pareshan ho gain
