agar mujh se meri kuchh aatish-e-gham kam nahin hoti
koi tadbir tujh se bhi to chashm-e-nam nahin hoti

bura ho sozish-e-dil ka bura ho soz-e-furqat ka
lagi hai aag wo dil mein kabhi jo kam nahin hoti

tasawwur ho kisi ka dil mein ya raaten judai ki
khalish teri kabhi ai soz-e-furqat kam nahin hoti

but-e-kafir-ada tujh se teri taswir achchhi hai
meri rudad-e-gham sun kar kabhi barham nahin hoti

chalen baad-e-khizan ke raat-din jhonke gulistan mein
mohabbat wo kali hai jis ki khushbu kam nahin hoti

karun to kya karun tadbir main is soz-e-furqat ki
bujhane par bhi meri aatish-e-gham kam nahin hoti

tadapna dekhti rahti hai mera 'raaz' furqat mein
shab-e-gham tu bhi qismat se meri hamdam nahin hoti
