hamare lab pe jab us bewafa ka nam aata hai
badi mushkil se qabu mein dil-e-nakaam aata hai

hawas-o-hosh ki duniya luta deta hun saqi par
qasam allah ki meri taraf jab jam aata hai

jafa shewa hai un ka hai shiar apna wafadari
unhen wo kaam aata hai hamein ye kaam aata hai

nazar aate hain jab do aadmi ahd-e-wafa karte
meri aankhon ke aage ishq ka anjam aata hai

surahi dar-baghal saghar-ba-kaf pita hua paiham
na jaane kaun si duniya se mai-asham aata hai

main darta hun na harf aae kahin parda-nashini par
laraz jata hun jab lab par kisi ka nam aata hai

jo jita hun to un ki shokhiyan jine nahin detin
jo marta hun wafaon par meri ilzam aata hai

'salam'-e-sokhta-qismat ki mahfil hai ajab mahfil
sitara subh ka ban kar charagh-e-sham aata hai
