chhodti hi nahin mujh ko shab-e-furqat meri
ai mein qurban use itni mohabbat meri

kyun kar upar uthen aankhen meri ai hasrat-e-did
sar uthane nahin deti hai nadamat meri

phut kar rone se ashkon ka mara hai pani
be-bahaar aae khuli jati hai turbat meri

wasl ki shab wo daraate hain ye kah kah ke mujhe
tum satao tumhein kosegi nazakat meri

jalwa-e-yar ne behosh kiya hai mujh ko
kuchh alag nashsha-e-mai se rahi ghaflat meri

aankh taron ne churai ye nai baat hai aaj
dekhiye katti hai kyun kar shab-e-ghurbat meri

rahn-e-mai hone se bach jae to izzat rah jae
mol le le koi dastar-e-fazilat meri

rahen ta-hashr yunhi mehndi lage panw ke naqsh
chaar phulon ki na mohtaj ho turbat meri

tare mujh ko nazar aaen na kahin hashr ke din
dar se badh jae na had se shab-e-furqat meri

chhed kar majma-e-zuhhad ko darta hun 'riyaz'
kohna masjid ki ewaz ho na marammat meri
