tu hi bata de jamal-e-mani tera karen intizar kab tak
hayat ka e'tibar ho bhi nigah ka e'tibar kab tak

jahan-e-zulm-o-jafa ke malik koi na ho ashk-bar kab tak
jo dil hi majbur ho chuka ho to aankh par ikhtiyar kab tak

milenge daman se aa ke aakhir mere gareban ke tar kab tak
koi batae ki ho sakega mera junun pukhta-kar kab tak

jo ki kisi ne bhi purshish-e-gham to chashm-e-majbur ho gai nam
magar dil-e-zabt-azma ke bayan mein ikhtisar kab tak

wo baad-e-sar-sar ki be-qarari wo bijliyan aur wo shoala-bari
bas ab qafas hi mein mutmain hun nazar ko shauq-e-bahaar kab tak

khizan ke be-kaif daur ka bhi mere gareban ye kuchh to haq hai
junun ko aakhir banae rakkhun niyaz-mand-e-bahaar kab tak

qadam qadam par sanam-kada hai nazar nazar mein haram ka manzar
tajalliyan hi to hain ye aakhir ba-qaid-e-didar-e-yar kab tak
