main todun ahd-o-paiman-e-wafa ye ho nahin sakta
wo hote hain to ho jaen juda ye ho nahin sakta

pila saqi ki shaghl-e-mai-kashi ka waqt jata hai
yunhi chhai rahe kali ghata ye ho nahin sakta

wo chashm-e-surmagin jab tak masihai na farmae
mariz-e-gham ko ho jae shifa ye ho nahin sakta

na dekhe shaikh tu jab tak buton ko meri aankhon se
nazar aae tujhe shan-e-khuda ye ho nahin sakta

wo baz aaen jafa-o-jaur se ye ghair-mumkin hai
main chhodun khu-e-taslim-o-raza ye ho nahin sakta

nadamat ho mujhe apni jafa par ye to mumkin hai
tera dil ho pashiman-e-jafa ye ho nahin sakta

pasandida na ho 'simab' kyun tarz-e-sukhan teri
na lae rang faizan-e-huma ye ho nahin sakta
