aap ki chashm-e-inayat kabhi aisi to na thi
aur taghaful pe nadamat kabhi aisi to na thi

yaad aata hun main kyon tark-e-talluq par bhi
mehrban mujh se mohabbat kabhi aisi to na thi

aap ke lutf-o-karam ki main tamanna karta
gham-o-alam se fursat kabhi aisi to na thi

zahe qismat rasan-o-dar ke laeq thahra
apni hum chashmon mein izzat kabhi aisi to na thi

tere aariz ka hai ye aks ki aaghaz-e-bahaar
apne gulshan ki latafat kabhi aisi to na thi

apni barbaad-e-mohabbat pe tahayyur kaisa
un se ummid-e-rifaqat kabhi aisi to na thi

ashk kyon dhalte nahin aankhon se barson 'manzar'
mere daman ko shikayat kabhi aisi to na thi
