bayan-e-dard-e-mohabbat jo bar bar na ho
koi naqab tere rukh ki parda-dar na ho

salam-e-shauq ki jurat se dil larazta hai
kahin mizaj girami pe ye bhi bar na ho

karam pe aaen to har har ada mein ishq hi ishq
na ho to un ka taghaful bhi aashkar na ho

yahi khayal raha pattharon ki barish mein
kahin unhin mein koi sang-e-ku-e-yar na ho

abhi hai aas ki aakhir kabhi to aaega
wo ek lamha ki jab tera intizar na ho

bahut fareb samajhta hun phir bhi ai 'ali'
main kya karun agar un par bhi e'tibar na ho
