hisab-e-tark-talluq tamam main ne kiya
shurua us ne kiya ikhtitam main ne kiya

mujhe bhi tark-e-mohabbat pe hairaten hain rahin
jo kaam mera nahin tha wo kaam main ne kiya

wo chahta tha ki dekhe mujhe bikharte hue
so us ka jashn ba-sad-ehtimam main ne kiya

bahut dinon mere chehre pe kirchiyan si rahin
shikast-e-zat ko aaina-fam main ne kiya

bahut dinon mein mere ghar ki khamoshi tuti
khud apne-ap se ek din kalam main ne kiya

khuda-e-zabt ne mausam pe qudtaren bakhshin
ghubar-e-tund ko aahista-gam main ne kiya

is ek hijr ne milwa diya visal se bhi
ki tu gaya to mohabbat ko aam main ne kiya

mizaj-e-gham ne bahar-taur mashghale dhunde
ki dil dukha to koi kaam-wam main ne kiya

chali jo sail-e-rawan par wo kaghzi kashti
to is safar ko mohabbat ke nam main ne kiya

wo aaftab jo dil mein dahak raha tha 'saud'
use sapurd-e-shafaq aaj sham main ne kiya
