hum se na hui jurat-e-izhaar-e-tamanna
ek umr rahe dil mein liye khar-e-tamanna

dil ho gaya hai jab se giraftar-e-tamanna
han sah rahe hain tab se hum aazar-e-tamanna

ai dost bujha de ki abhi jaan hai baqi
ab phunk hi dalegi mujhe nar-e-tamanna

lillah nahin koi utar jaane ki surat
dosh-e-dil-e-nazuk pe hai wo bar-e-tamanna

'maqbul' isi mein hai jo khushnudi-e-yaran
to hum bhi kiye dete hain isar-e-tamanna
