jo bhale bure ki atkal na mera shiar hota
na jaza-e-khair pata na gunahgar hota

mai-e-be-khudi ka saqi mujhe ek jura bas tha
na kabhi nasha utarta na kabhi khumar hota

main kabhi ka mar bhi rahta na gham-e-firaq sahta
agar apni zindagi par mujhe ikhtiyar hota

ye jo ishq-e-jaan-sitan hai ye jo bahr-e-be-karan hai
na suna koi safina kabhi is se par hota

kabhi bhul kar kisi se na karo suluk aisa
ki jo koi tum se karta tumhein nagawar hota

hai is anjuman mein yaksan adam-o-wajud mera
ki jo main yahan na hota yahi karobar hota
