jab nashat-e-alam nahin hota
jam-e-jam jam-e-jam nahin hota

jaane kyun teri be-rukhi se bhi
dil ko ab koi gham nahin hota

aa gaya hun tere huzur magar
fasla phir bhi kam nahin hota

wo masarrat talash karta hai
jis ko irfan-e-gham nahin hota

umr bhar tujh ko dekhne par bhi
zauq-e-nazzara kam nahin hota

kya kahun dil ko kya hua 'rifat'
daman-e-chashm nam nahin hota
