aashob-e-husn ki bhi koi dastan rahe
mitne ko yun miten ki abad tak nishan rahe

tauf-e-haram mein ya sar-e-ku-e-butan rahe
ek barq-e-iztirab rahe hum jahan rahe

un ki tajalliyon ka bhi koi nishan rahe
har zarra meri khak ka aatish-ba-jaan rahe

kya kya hain dard-e-ishq ki fitna-taraaziyan
hum iltifat-e-khas se bhi bad-guman rahe

mere sarishk-e-khun mein hai rangini-e-hayat
ya rab faza-e-husn abad tak jawan rahe

main raazdar-e-husn hun tum raazdar-e-ishq
lekin ye imtiyaz bhi kyun darmiyan rahe
