hum ne khayal-e-sakhti-e-jada nahin kiya
tark-e-safar ka koi irada nahin kiya

ushshaq-e-ahd-e-nau ne sar-e-rahguzar-e-shauq
gard-e-safar ko tan ka labaada nahin kiya

hum ne bhi laut aane mein takhir ki bahut
us ne bhi intizar ziyaada nahin kiya

hum hain gham-e-firaq ke hurmat-shanas log
gham ko supurd-e-saghar-o-baada nahin kiya

tere siwa bhi koi dar-e-jaan pe aa sake
itna bhi hum ne dil ko kushada nahin kiya
