ahl-e-jahan ke sath wafa ya jafa karun
meri samajh mein kuchh nahin aata hai kya karun

ye dard-e-dil to hasil-e-umr-daraaz hai
main is ko apni zat se kyun kar juda karun

duniya yahi karegi to duniya se peshtar
majruh kyun na khud hi main apni ana karun

duniya mein kaun hai jo nahin hai mere khilaf
ek tum hi rah gae ho tumhein bhi khafa karun

har zawiye se zist ne ruswa kiya mujhe
kis rukh se apni zat ka ab samna karun

ehsan jo uthae hain auron ke waste
auron pe hain wo qarz magar main ada karun

aankhon ko nind ki bhi rifaqat nahin nasib
main shama to nahin ki sahar tak jala karun

hasrat hi rah gai ki bahaaron ke darmiyan
tere baghair bhi to kabhi khush raha karun

beganagi ko chhod ke fitrat bhi hans pade
aadam ke nam par koi aisi khata karun

jab karb-e-agahi mein hun ai 'lais' aaj-kal
is karb-e-agahi se kise aashna karun
