ishq mein gham ke siwa koi khushi dekhi nahin
zindagi shayan-e-lutf-e-zindagi dekhi nahin

un khizan-saman bahaaron ko bahaaren kyun kahun
kya kabhi main ne chaman ki dilkashi dekhi nahin

uf wo aankhen marte dam tak jo rahi hain ashk-bar
hae wo lab umr bhar jin par hansi dekhi nahin

tak raha hun naza mein yun un ki surat bar bar
zindagi mein jaise ye surat kabhi dekhi nahin

wo dare mahshar-ba-daman talkhi-e-mahaul se
jis ne un nazron ki shan-e-barhami dekhi nahin

badh gaya hai kis qadar tarikiyon ka silsila
ba-wujud-e-subh-e-raushan raushni dekhi nahin
