sath rahte itni muddat ho gai
dard ko dil se mohabbat ho gai

kya jawani jald rukhsat ho gai
ek chhalawa thi ki champat ho gai

dil ki gahak achchhi surat ho gai
aankh milte hi mohabbat ho gai

fatiha padhne wo aae aaj kya
thokaron ki nazr turbat ho gai

lakh bimari hai ek parhez-e-mai
jaan jokhon tark-e-adat ho gai

tafraqa dala falak ne bar-ha
do dilon mein jab mohabbat ho gai

wo gila sun kar hue yun munfail
aaed apne sar shikayat ho gai

dosti kya us talawwun-taba ki
chaar din sahab salamat ho gai

wah re aalam kamal-e-ishq ka
meri un ki ek surat ho gai

un ke jate hi hui kaya palat
kham masarrat yas hasrat ho gai

pi ke yun tum kab bahakte the 'hafiz'
raat kya be-lutf sohbat ho gai
