dard ko rahne bhi de dil mein dawa ho jaegi
maut aaegi to ai hamdam shifa ho jaegi

hogi jab nalon ki apne zer gardun baz-gasht
mere dard-e-dil ki shohrat ja-ba-ja ho jaegi

ku-e-jaanan mein use hai sajda-rezi ka jo shauq
meri peshani rahin-e-naqsh-e-pa ho jaegi

kakul-e-pechan hata kar rukh se aao samne
parda-dar-e-husn mahfil mein ziya ho jaegi

jab ye samjhunga ki meri zist hai mamnun-e-marg
maut meri zindagi ka aasra ho jaegi

intizar-e-wasl karna umr bhar mumkin to hai
go nahin malum haalat kya se kya ho jaegi

mohtasib aur hum hain donon muttafiq is bab mein
barmala jo mai-kashi ho be-riya ho jaegi

main abhi se jaan de dunga jo rah-e-ishq mein
intiha majnun ki meri ibtida ho jaegi

fash raaz-e-dil nahin karta magar ye dar to hai
be-khudi mein aah lab se aashna ho jaegi

baryab-e-khwab-gah-e-naz hone do use
un ki zulfon mein pareshan khud saba ho jaegi

maqsad-e-ulfat ko kar lo pahle 'shaida' dil-nashin
warna har aah-o-fughan be-muddaa ho jaegi
