gham-e-ashiqi se badh kar gham-e-zindagi nahin hai
main tere karam ke qurban mujhe kuchh kami nahin hai

mere jaan-o-dil ke malik mujhe be-niyaz-e-gham kar
kisi aur dar pe hargiz ye jabin jhuki nahin hai

mere shahr-e-jaan-o-dil mein wo ziya bikherte hain
mera qalb hai mujalla yahan tirgi nahin hai

ai amir-e-shahr-e-shadan mujhe apne pas rakhna
tere dar se dur rah kar koi zindagi nahin hai

wahi chaara-e-wafa hai jahan dil ho kar-farma
jahan aql hukmran ho rah-e-ashiqi nahin hai

ye hai raaz-e-ishq-o-ulfat na samajh sakega waiz
jahan tirgi nahin hai wahan raushni nahin hai

suni dukh-bhari kahani mujhe baryab kar ke
mere dil mein ab tamanna koi dusri nahin hai
