jo teri nazar mein pinhan na ye e'tibar hota
meri jaan ghubar hoti mera dil mazar hota

kahin hum bhi dhund lete koi aafiyat ka unwan
ye jo be-qarar dil hai ise gar qarar hota

koi ramz-did hota ki bana-e-sukun ho
meri aarzu bahalti agar intizar hota

ye shaban-e-hijr kattin ye dil-e-hazin bahalta
jo sahar ke aaine mein kahin ru-e-yar hota

kabhi shakh-e-gul lachak kar khabar-e-bahaar deti
kahin surmai faza mein koi naghma-bar hota

na jo dil ke aasman par koi barq si lapakti
gham-e-marg-e-arzu hi mera gham-gusar hota

teri be-rukhi pe khulta kabhi dard-e-dil ka mazmun
na ye harf-e-mukhtasar gar tere dil pe bar hota
