dil bahalta hi nahin hai jab kisi tadbir se
haal-e-dil kahta hun apna main teri taswir se

tirgi chhai hui hai is qadar ab chaar-su
jaise raushan hi na hogi zindagi tanwir se

apne hathon se bigada main ne jab taqdir ko
phir karun kyun-kar shikayat katib-e-taqdir se

dil mein pahle hi gham-o-alam-e-duniya kam na the
aur ghayal ho gaya tera nazar ke tir se

ab na rangin khwab mustaqbil ke dikhlao mujhe
khub waqif hun main aise khwab ki tabir se

kuchh ajab aalam hai dil ka jab se tera khat padha
tujh ko kya malum dil kitna dukha tahrir se

sirf mayusi ki daldal hai jidhar bhi dekhiye
hum ko ye tohfa mila hai husn ki jagir se
