dil agar dard-ashna na hua
us ka hona hi kya hua na hua

waqif-e-dard-e-la-dawa na hua
khar-e-rah koi zer-e-pa na hua

marg-e-ashiq bhi narawa thahri
yani mar kar bhi haq ada na hua

shab-e-hijran bhi ek qayamat hai
kaun fitna tha jo bapa na hua

us ke wadon pe kar raha hun yaqin
jis ka wada kabhi wafa na hua

khubiyan hain yahi mohabbat ki
kaun hai zulm jo rawa na hua

rah-e-ulfat mein hun main garm-e-safar
kya hai gar koi dusra na hua

sher-goi se 'zabt' kya hasil
koi maddah jab tera na hua
