hui hai umr ki khurshid se nazar na mili
hamare hijr ki shab ko kahin sahar na mili

mili to un se magar fursat-e-nazar na mili
phir us ke baad khud apni hamein khabar na mili

tere karam se zamane mein mujh ko kya na mila
nahin mili to bas ek teri rahguzar na mili

khula ye raaz ki na-paedar hai duniya
yahan kisi se koi baat mo'atabar na mili

asir-e-halqa-e-dam-e-khayal hai ab tak
wo bad-nasib jise tab-e-baal-o-par na mili

khuda ki zat se kuchh munharif rahe wo log
ki jin ko chashm mili chahsm-e-haq-nigar na mili

kahan kahan tere jalwe na aashkar hue
kahan kahan tere jalwon se ye nazar na mili

har ek raat ki hoti to hai sahar lekin
hamari raat ko arsa hua sahar na mili

khuda ki shan hai 'saib' sab ek hain lekin
kisi bashar se kahin surat-e-bashar na mili
