andesha-e-arbab-e-haram sath rahega
jannat bhi milegi to ye gham sath rahega

pyase hi guzar jaenge hum rah-e-talab se
ibrat ke liye saghar-e-jam sath rahega

manzil se palat aaegi ek ek tajalli
han shoala-e-rukhsar-e-sanam sath rahega

tu aur na aae dar-e-zindan-e-wafa tak
mar kar bhi ye gham teri qasam sath rahega

aflak se palkon pe utar aaenge tare
khul kar bhi shab-e-gham ka bharam sath rahega

mai-khana bahut dur nahin dida-e-nam se
aa gardish-e-dauran koi dam sath rahega

rahon mein 'qatil' aaenge sau aaina-khane
lekin mera gul-posh qalam sath rahega
