dil gaya raunaq-e-hayat gai
gham gaya sari kaenat gai

dil dhadakte hi phir gai wo nazar
lab tak aai na thi ki baat gai

din ka kya zikr tira-bakhton mein
ek raat aai ek raat gai

teri baaton se aaj to waiz
wo jo thi khwahish-e-najat gai

un ke bahlae bhi na bahla dil
raegan sai-e-iltifat gai

marg-e-ashiq to kuchh nahin lekin
ek masiha-nafas ki baat gai

ab junun aap hai gareban-gir
ab wo rasm-e-takallufat gai

hum ne bhi waz-e-gham badal dali
jab se wo tarz-e-iltifat gai

tark-e-ulfat bahut baja naseh
lekin us tak agar ye baat gai

han maze lut le jawani ke
phir na aaegi ye jo raat gai

han ye sarshaariyan jawani ki
aankh jhapki hi thi ki raat gai

jalwa-e-zat ai maaz-allah
tab-e-aina-e-sifat gai

nahin milta mizaj-e-dil hum se
ghaaliban dur tak ye baat gai

qaid-e-hasti se kab najat 'jigar'
maut aai agar hayat gai
