ai dil ab aur koi qissa-e-duniya na suna
chhed de zikr-e-wafa han koi afsana suna

ghibat-e-dahr bahut gosh-e-gunahgar mein hai
kuchh gham-e-ishq ke ausaf-e-karimana suna

kar-e-diroz abhi aankhon se kahan simta hai
khun rulane ke liye qissa-e-farda na suna

daman-e-baad ko hai daulat-e-shabnam kafi
ruh ko zikr-e-tunuk-bakhshi-e-dariya na suna

sunte hain us mein wo jada hai ki dil chiz hai kya
sunte hain us pe wo aalam hai ki dekha na suna

gosh-e-behosh wo kya jis ne ki hangam-e-nawa
koi nala hi lab-e-nai se nikalta na suna

ham-nashin pardagi-e-raaz ise kahte hain
lab-e-saghar se kisi rind ka charcha na suna

kuchh ajab chaal se jata hai zamana ab ke
hashr dekhe hain magar hashr ka ghaugha na suna

badh gaya roz-e-qayamat se shab-e-gham ka sukut
jism-e-adam mein kahin dil hi dhadakta na suna

nauha-e-gham koi us bazm mein chhede kyunkar
jis ne giton ko bhi ba-khatir-e-begana suna
