husn badnam hua ishq ke afsanon se
ek fitna hai jo uttha kai unwanon se

dil hai mamur teri yaad se armanon se
na raha ghar mera khali kabhi mehmanon se

dil shagufta na ho kyon aaj bayabanon se
gham-e-giti ki hai raunaq inhi viranon se

khabar-e-fasl-e-bahaari ne qayamat dha di
shor-e-fariyaad utha kitne hi zindanon se

hum ne sikha nahin sahil pe bharosa karna
badh ke tufan hue bhid gae tufanon se

kis tarah aalam-e-asbab ko thukraate hain
puchhiye ja ke kabhi be-sar-o-samanon se

jaan dena to gawara hai magar ai shab-e-gham
mujh ko allah bachae tere ehsanon se

kashti apni kabhi sharminda-e-sahil na hui
umr sari ye ulajhte rahi tufanon se

aise logon se rakhun khak tawaqqo main 'qadir'
kaam padta hai to ho jate hain an-jaanon se
