gham-e-furqat saha nahin jata
roz mar kar jiya nahin jata

khizr se bhi rah-e-mohabbat mein
sath mere chala nahin jata

ho gai zoaf ki bhi had dil mein
dard se bhi utha nahin jata

ab ye surat hai mere rone par
ghair se bhi hansa nahin jata

qabr mein sath hai teri hasrat
warna tanha raha nahin jata

ab to hum se tere baghair mile
khak mein bhi mila nahin jata

dil to jata hai shauq mein tere
shauq dil se tera nahin jata

kitna kam-zarf hai tera paikan
khun-e-dil bhi piya nahin jata

wo to jate hain dil se ai gham-e-yar
tu bhi jata hai ya nahin jata

ab to ye haal hai ki un se bhi
haal mera suna nahin jata

wo umangen nahin magar 'mahmud'
takna jhankna nahin jata
