kabhi mit kar na fana hasrat-o-arman honge
ban ke dagh-e-dil-e-mayus numayan honge

dagh-ha-e-dil-e-sozan ko main rakhta hun aziz
yahi ek roz ayagh-e-mai-e-irfan honge

meri ulfat ne badhaya hai tera husn-o-jamal
mah-jabin ab tujhe dekhenge to hairan honge

saya-e-zulf-e-pareshan jo samajhte hain tujhe
wo tere shukr-guzar ai shab-e-hijran honge

shikwa-e-jor par ai dost na ho sharminda
tu jo pachhtaega hum aur pasheman honge

ras aaega unhin ko ye junun-e-ulfat
jo gul-e-tar ki tarah chaak-gareban honge

dekh kar shaikh-o-barahman ki adawat ya-rab
sochta hun kabhi insan bhi insan honge

do bahaaron ko na dawat ki asiran-e-qafas
aamad-e-fasl-e-bahaari se pareshan honge
