tum se ulfat ke taqaze na nibahe jate
warna hum ko bhi tamanna thi ki chahe jate

dil ke maron ka na kar gham ki ye andoh-nasib
zakhm bhi dil mein na hota to karahe jate

kam-nigahi ki hamein khud bhi kahan thi taufiq
kam-nigahi ke liye uzr na chahe jate

kash ai abr-e-bahaari tere bahke se qadam
meri ummid ke sahra mein bhi gahe jate

hum bhi kyun dahr ki raftar se hote pamal
hum bhi har laghzish-e-masti ko sarahe jate

lazzat-e-dard se aasuda kahan dil wale
hain faqat dard ki hasrat mein karahe jate

hai tere fitna-e-raftar ka shohra kya kya
garche dekha na kisi ne sar-e-rahe jate

di na mohlat hamein hasti ne wafa ki warna
aur kuchh din gham-e-hasti se nibahe jate
