hausla koi shab-e-wasl nikalne na diya
dard-e-dil ne mujhe ek dam bhi sanbhalne na diya

aasmanon ko dila zabt ne jalne na diya
aatishin-nala mere munh se nikalne na diya

hum ne dil soz-e-tap-e-hijr se jalne na diya
sath aahon ke dhuan munh se nikalne na diya

baghiyon ne ye kiya zulm misal-e-shamshad
nakhl-e-ummid mera phulne phalne na diya

zikr-e-gesu-e-pareshan se pareshan rakkha
dil ko main ne shab-e-furqat mein sanbhalne na diya

khanjar-e-naz se manzur jo tha qatl mujhe
nimcha miyan se qatil ki nikalne na diya

ai masiha tap-e-furqat bhi bala hai koi
tere bimar-e-mohabbat ko sanbhalne na diya

khauf-e-taraji-e-gulshan ka use tha jo khayal
nala bulbul ne kabhi munh se nikalne na diya

lakh phadka hi kiya main ne magar ai sayyaad
murgh-e-dil ko qafas-e-tan se nikalne na diya

bazi-e-ishq bhala hum se wo kya le jata
'fakhir' us shokh ka chakma koi chalne na diya
