aziyyaton se nikalne ka mashwara deti
main us ki thi to nahin phir bhi hausla deti

kisi azab se kam to nahin hai khush rahna
dua ke nam pe kyun us ko bad-dua deti

chhupa bhi leti mere bhed ko agar bil-farz
hawa ka kya hai koi aur gul khila deti

baja ki sahl na tha us ka ham-safar hona
kam az kam us ko palatne ka rasta deti

jo mujh se ishq ke qisse sunata phirta tha
kahin wo milta to main us ko aaina deti

mere khuda koi masraf to hota ashkon ka
fasil-e-shahr ki tahrir hi mita deti

khuda gawah ki sar se jhatak ke dekh liya
nahin tha bas mein wagarna use bhula deti

main us ki khas inayat se bach gai hun 'qamar'
wagarna khalq-e-khuda to mujhe mita deti
