dil mein us shokh ke jo rah na ki
hum ne bhi jaan di par aah na ki

parda-poshi zarur thi ai charkh
kyun shab-e-bul-hawas siyah na ki

tishna-lab aise hum gire mai par
ki kabhi sair-e-id-gah na ki

us ko dushman se kya bachae wo charkh
jis ne tadbir-e-khasf-e-mah na ki

kaun aisa ki us se puchhe kyun
pursish-e-haal dad-khwah na ki

tha bahut shauq-e-wasl tu ne to
kami ai husn tab-gah na ki

ishq mein kaam kuchh nahin aata
gar na ki hirs-o-mal-o-jah na ki

tab-e-kam-zarf ko kahan tum ne
dushmani ki adu se chah na ki

main bhi kuchh khush nahin wafa kar ke
tum ne achchha kiya nibah na ki

mohtasib ye sitam gharibon par
kabhi tambih-e-baadshah na ki

girya-o-ah be-asar donon
kis ne kashti meri tabah na ki

tha muqaddar main us se kam milna
kyun mulaqat gah gah na ki

dekh dushman ko uth gaya be-did
mere ahwal par nigah na ki

'momin' is zehn-e-be-khata par haif
fikr-e-amurzish-e-gunah na ki
