kab shauq mera jazbe se bahar na hua tha
tha kaun sa qatra jo samundar na hua tha

kya yaad teri dil ko mere kar gai tarik
ek gosha bhi to is ka munawwar na hua tha

kis tarah koi ahd-e-wafa mujh se kare aaj
jab roz-e-azal mein ye muqaddar na hua tha

didar ki hasrat hi hui wajh-e-tassuf
qismat mein meri harf-e-mukarrar na hua tha

aankhon mein jagah us ko mili wah re taqdir
wo qatra jo khush-bakhti se gauhar na hua tha

gharqab hui kashti-e-hasti lab-e-sahil
shakir' to abhi us ka shanawar na hua tha
