hum ne ai dost rifaqat se bhala kya paya
ju-e-be-ab hai tu main shajar-e-be-saya

dard jo aql ke israf se bach rahta hai
ishq ke qaht-zadon ka hai wahi sarmaya

dida-o-dil se guzarta hai koi shakhs aksar
jaise aahu-e-ramida ka gurezan saya

kal faqat gesu-e-barham the nishan-e-tashwish
aaj dekha to unhen aur pareshan paya

husn se jab bhi chhida marka-e-dida-o-dil
khud mera ishq mere madd-e-muqabil aaya

main hun khud apni hi khakistar-e-jaan mein madfun
dafn ho jaise kharabe mein koi sarmaya
