dil-e-hazin ko na malum kyun qarar nahin
nigah-e-shauq to paband-e-e'tibar nahin

ye chand-roza bahaaren sada-bahaar nahin
ki dhalti chhanw ka ai dost e'tibar nahin

badalte rahte hain ye rang aasman ki tarah
nazar-farosh sahaaron ka e'tibar nahin

teri nigah ke sadqe main ab wahan hun jahan
koi rafiq nahin koi gham-gusar nahin

chaman mein raaz-e-chaman ban gaya hai jo hamdam
wahi to bulbul-e-marhum ka mazar nahin

na chhin sham-e-junun mujh se aasman ki mujhe
hawa-e-subh-e-chaman ab ke sazgar nahin

isi se puchho meri ham-safar hai ye bijli
mere junun ko zamane ka intizar nahin

wo gham-nasib kahan jae kis ko apnae
teri nigah-e-karam jis ki gham-gusar nahin
