bimar-e-gham hun kar-e-masiha kare koi
dard-e-dil-o-jigar ka mudawa kare koi

zauq-e-nazar 'kalim' ka paida kare koi
phir did-e-husn-e-yar ka dawa kare koi

milta nahin wafa ka wafa se kahin jawab
phir khak doston pe bharosa kare koi

pas-e-haya nahin unhen josh-e-shabab mein
un ki bhi aarzu hai ki dekha kare koi

dekha jo mahw-e-husn to bole ba-sad-itab
mujh ko na is nigah se dekha kare koi

jab dushman-e-wafa tumhein 'aslam' samajh chuka
phir kyon wafa ki tum se tamanna kare koi
