haal-e-dil-e-bimar samajh mein chaaragaron ki aae kam
bechaini ho jae ziyaada dard agar ho jae kam

ashk nigal jaun to yaqinan shiddat-e-gham ho jae kam
dil ka jhulas jaana lazim hai aah jo lab par aae kam

mujh ko hai taslim qafas mein phulon ke hain sae kam
hae magar wo jin ko chaman ki aab-o-hawa ras aae kam

rah-e-talab mein har manzil par ho tajdid-e-azm-e-safar
rahraw ko aaram na aae aur jo aae aae kam

qamat-e-fan ki baat alag meyar-e-hunar ki baat alag
shahr-e-sukhan gunjaan hai lekin hain mere ham-sae kam

apne aib se waqif hona sab se bada hai kar-e-hunar
aadmi khud aaina dekhe auron ko dikhlae kam

puchhne walo haal na puchho ishq mein ab ye aalam hai
khud par hansna aae ziyaada dil par rona aae kam

aariz-e-rangin kahne mein tausif to hai tashbih nahin
phul pe aae us ki shabahat phul ki us par aae kam

shahr-e-nafas se wadi-e-jaan tak saikdon nazuk rishte hain
sans na rukne pae 'akhgar' dard na hone pae kam
