phir iztirab-e-shauq mein gham se mafar kahan
wo husn-e-iltifat wo husn-e-nazar kahan

tariki-e-hayat se ghabra gaya hai ji
dekhen shab-e-firaq ki phir ho sahar kahan

tere baghair mahfil-e-dil bhi udas hai
ai husn-e-na-shanas tujhe ye khabar kahan

ab tak samajh raha tha jise teri rahguzar
tha ek fareb-e-shauq teri rahguzar kahan

arsa hua ki bazm-e-tamanna ujad chuki
pahli si ab wo raunaq-e-sham-o-sahar kahan

jalwon ki tab la na saki dil ki aankh bhi
phir dekhe kis tarah koi tab-e-nazar kahan

ek chashm-e-lutf ka hai teri muntazir 'kalim'
warna jabin-e-shauq kahan sang-e-dar kahan
