jab sulagti hai shab-e-gham meri tanhai se
risne lagta hai lahu chashm-e-tamannai se

us ke is tarz-e-mohabbat pe hansi aati hai
pyar bhi karta hai darta bhi hai ruswai se

zalzala sa koi aata hai zamin-e-dil par
ai meri jaan ke dushman teri angdai se

zehn-o-dil mein kahin laila to nahin hai lekin
qais waqif hai meri fitrat-e-sahrai se

dil bhi mayus-e-mohabbat ki tarah tut gaya
ab guzarna hai use rah-e-shikastai se

kat gai hijr ki zanjir faqat ek pal mein
mere mahbub teri chashm-e-karishmai se

aisa lagta hai ki takra ke chali aati hai
meri har ek sada arsh ki unchai se
