fikr-o-khayal mein tumhein lane se faeda
khud apne ghar mein aag lagane se faeda

baithe bithae ji ko jalane se faeda
tamir-e-zindagi ko mitane se faeda

fariyaad-o-ah nala-o-shewan fuzul hain
shab ki khamoshiyon ko jagane se faeda

pamal ho chuke hain ye andaz-e-ashiqi
yun sar kisi ke dar pe jhukane se faeda

achchha nahin hai ishq mein khuddariyon ka khun
jo khud na aae us ko bulane se faeda

ishq aur khayal-e-tan-e-zamana ghalat ghalat
aakhir batao hum ko zamane se faeda

ashkon mein bah chuki hai nigah-e-jamal jo
ab be-naqab samne aane se faeda

gar jawedan nahin hai mohabbat to ai nadim
ye khwab-e-zar-nigar dikhane se faeda

bahr-e-sukun mein dub gai mauj-e-iztirab
sahil pe gham ka sog manane se faeda

main bewafa hun tum ho wafadar han durust
ai 'raj aur baat badhane se faeda
