chain dil ko na aaega kab tak
wo mujhe yun sataega kab tak

ai sitamgar tere sitam aakhir
koi bekas uthaega kab tak

zarf par apne naz hai mujh ko
aasman tu sataega kab tak

wo rahega khafa agar yun hi
koi aakhir manaega kab tak

hijr ka mere ham-nashin koi
un ko qissa sunaega kab tak

chha chuki hain ghataen ab har-su
saqiya mai pilaega kab tak

shoala-e-ishq kya khabar 'paikan'
mere dil ko jalaega kab tak
