fughan-e-dard mein bhi dard ki khalish hi nahin
dilon mein aag lagi hai magar tapish hi nahin

kahan se laen wo soz-o-gudaz dil wale
ki dilbari ka wo aahang wo rawish hi nahin

haqiqaton ke bhi tewar badal to sakte hain
hamari bazm mein khwabon ki wo khalish hi nahin

dimagh kyun na ho sahil pe sone walon ka
kabhi kabhaar jo tufan ki sarzanish hi nahin

lubhaega use kya chand ka khunuk jadu
jise nasib kadi dhup ki tapish hi nahin

zamana qissa-e-dar-o-rasan ko bhul na jae
kisi ke halqa-e-gesu mein wo kashish hi nahin

ye rang-o-bu ke tilismat kis liye hain 'surur'
bahaar kya hai junun ki jo parwarish hi nahin
