aah ab tak to be-asar na hui
kuchh tumhin ko meri khabar na hui

sham se fikr-e-subh kya shab-e-hijr
mar rahenge agar sahar na hui

kis se dil ka suragh paenge hum
tu hi ai aarzu agar na hui

khalq samjhi mujhi ko diwana
chaara farmae chaaragar na hui

kuchh nazar kah gai zaban na khuli
baat un se hui magar na hui

shikwa kya un se khun-e-nahaq ka
zindagi thi hui basar na hui

hashr ka din bhi dhal gaya 'fani'
dil ki rudad mukhtasar na hui
