ho juda ai chaara-gar hai mujh ko aazar-e-firaq
be-visal achchha hua bhi koi bimar-e-firaq

shokhi-e-parda-nashin ki ishwa-sazi dekhna
dil hai badmast-e-visal aur dida bedar-e-firaq

ek nale mein phirega mehr-o-mah ko dhundhta
ai falak mat chhed mujh ko hun aza-dar-e-firaq

wasl thi meri saza hijr intiqam-e-ghair tha
kab hua khu-karda-e-hijran giraftar-e-firaq

koi karta hai khata aur koi pata hai saza
ghair gustakh-e-visal aur main saza-war-e-firaq

dam-ba-dam bijli gire ya nahr-e-khun jari rahe
iltiyam is sine ka kya jo hai afgar-e-firaq

aankh kab lagti hai hile se jo tujh se lag gai
dastan-e-wasl kab sunta hai bedar-e-firaq

dam mein sayyaad ke kyun ki na bulbul mar rahe
daman-e-har-barg-e-gul mein tha nihan khar-e-firaq

sau bahaar aae magar jata hai koi dagh-e-dil
lala-o-gul ka nahin mushtaq khun-bar-e-firaq

ab 'qalaq' thokar se teri ji chuka marne ke baad
aashna-e-wasl kab ho naz-bardar-e-firaq
