chain furqat mein kabhi sham-o-sahar ne na diya
dard-e-dil ne to kabhi dard-e-jigar ne na diya

jab bhi aaya hai teri zulf-e-pareshan ka khayal
meri suljhi hui fikron ko sanwarne na diya

the pareshan to bahut umr-e-rawan ke auraq
hum ne shiraaza-e-ulfat ko bikharne na diya

imtihan zarf ka rindon ke raha pesh-e-nazar
aaj saqi ne kisi jam ko bharne na diya

sham-e-furqat ki hawaen to bala ban ke rahin
muzhda-e-wasl kabhi baad-e-sahar ne na diya

aa gaya sabr-o-tawakkul na rahi hirs-o-hawas
be-zari ne wo diya mujh ko jo zar ne na diya

chalte rahte hain yunhi rah-e-wafa mein 'saqib'
ab bhi manzil ka pata rah-guzar ne na diya
