howen bar-aks bhala kyun na wo aghyar se khush
kisi mashuq ko dekha na wafadar se khush

har dua par hamein dushnam mayassar hai kahan
shamat-e-nafs hai gar howen na sarkar se khush

naqd-e-dil bhi jo koi de ke na mange bosa
wo hua karte hain bas aise kharidar se khush

ghaur se main ne jo dekha to kahin aalam mein
koi hoga na ziyaada tere bimar se khush

kya ajab mujh se khafa howe agar wo 'arif'
kisi mashuq ko dekha na wafadar se khush
