daman pe wo ashkon ki tahrir nazar aai
har gham mein mohabbat ki taswir nazar aai

ye fasl-e-bahaaran ka eajaz maaz-allah
zanjir na thi lekin zanjir nazar aai

aaina-e-irfan mein jab husn-e-azal dekha
har barg ki jumbish mein taqdir nazar aai

ai sham-e-alam ruk ja ek ashk ne lau di hai
ab tujh se nibhane ki tadbir nazar aai

gulshan ki fazaon ne kaisa ye chalan badla
phulon mein bhi kanton ki tasir nazar aai

hasil hai sukun lekin betab nigahen hain
aakhir ye hamein kis ki taswir nazar aai

nakaami-e-paiham se jab tut gai himmat
taskin ki ek surat taqdir nazar aai

aaina-e-gulshan par jab chashm-e-khirad thahri
phulon ke bhi pairon mein zanjir nazar aai

hum un se shikayat bhi ai 'shauq' kahan karte
har-gam pe jab apni taqsir nazar aai
