kab ho saka hai dil ka mudawa tere baghair
hoga tera mariz na achchha tere baghair

sabr-o-qarar-e-ishq 'ibarat tujhi se hai
baatil hai zabt-e-dard ka da'wa tere baghair

is tarah ab jahan mein hun goya nahin hun main
kaisi badal gai meri duniya tere baghair

baalin par aa ki maut sukun se nasib ho
jina to ab nahin hai gawara tere baghair

har mauj-e-mai hai ek rag-e-khun-bar hijr mein
kya honge aah saghar-o-mina tere baghair

teri tajalliyon se hain sab ki tajalliyan
jalwa nahin hai koi bhi jalwa tere baghair

ye barq be-qarar hai daman-e-abr mein
ya muztarib hai dil pas-e-parda tere baghair

tu uth ke kya chala ki chali jaan jism se
dushwar ho gaya mujhe jaisa tere baghair

kya zikr-e-mehr-o-mah ki ai mehr-o-mah-e-husn
chamka na aaj tak koi zarra tere baghair

begana-e-hayat hai har lamha-e-firaq
kis tarah ji sake koi tanha tere baghair

tu dekhta hai dekh saka kab main ghair ko
wa ho saki na chashm-e-tamasha tere baghair

ai barq-e-husn dil ki faza par bhi ek jhalak
tarik hai ye tur-e-tajalli tere baghair

zarra bhi apne dasht se begana ho gaya
baham juda hain qatra-o-dariya tere baghair

jab tu nahin nazar mein to nazron ko kya karun
kis kaam ka ye dida-e-bina tere baghair

gar aaj teri qadr nahin ai 'junun' na ho
roega apne haal pe farda tere baghair
