ashk umden to unhen palkon pe roka jae
kyon ye pindar-e-wafa surat-e-girya jae

jab se dekhe hain teri aankhon ke sagar hum ne
ek nai aarzu ubhri hai ki duba jae

main samaat mein samete hun hazaron dushnam
zabt-e-gham ka hai ye irshad na bola jae

hum ko is khwab-e-mohabbat se jagaya kis ne
naqsh chehron pe adawat ka na dekha jae

zakhm-khurda na kahin ungliyan wahshat ho jaen
barbat-e-dil ko kisi ke na yun chheda jae

dil hai maslub-e-ana baam pe suraj bhi nahin
kis tarah ghar ke andheron ko ujala jae

panw jab khar-e-mughilan se hain chhalni 'abid'
kyon na phir aatish-e-namrud mein utra jae
