huzur-e-yar bhi aazurdagi nahin jati
ki hum se itni bhi duri sahi nahin jati

khud apne sar ye bala kaun mol leta hai
mohabbat aap se hoti hai ki nahin jati

lahu jalati hai khamoshiyon mein palti hai
hikayat-e-dil-e-sozan kahi nahin jati

hum is ko kya karen tum ko hai na-pasand magar
zaban-e-haal se barjastagi nahin jati

mila de khak mein hum ko hazar gardish-e-charkh
magar bagulon se aawargi nahin jati

chaman wo ho ki bayaban bahaar ho ki khizan
junun ki fitrat-e-jama-wari nahin jati

agar ghubar ho dil mein agar ho tang-nazar
to mehr o mah se bhi tirgi nahin jati

mahakti rahti hai ghurbat mein bhi sharafat-e-nafs
gul-e-fasurda se khushbu kabhi nahin jati

charagh din mein dhuan hi dhuan sa lagta hai
sharab raat ki shai din ko pi nahin jati

agar yaqin nahin hai najabat-e-mai par
to lakh pite raho tishnagi nahin jati

shuur-e-husn muzmir hijab mein 'wamiq'
barhana chehron se be-chehragi nahin jati
