kabhi nashat kabhi dard-e-be-karan guzre
bas ek mujh pe hi lamhat-e-imtihan guzre

pahunch sake na wahan fikr-o-agagi wale
teri nigah ke mare jahan jahan guzre

meri wafa ka fasana tere fasane mein
ajab nahin ki yahi zeb-e-dastan guzre

kahin jhuki na jabin tere sang-e-dar ke siwa
rah-e-niyaz se kitne hi aastan guzre

jo teri yaad ki lazzat se rah gae mahrum
hayat ke wahi lamhat raegan guzre

koi to jam-ba-kaf ho koi tamashai
nasib phute jo aison ke darmiyan guzre

nigah-e-lutf ne khud badh ke muddaa puchha
teri gali se kuchh aise bhi be-zaban guzre

khabar bhi hai 'qamar'-e-sust-e-gam-o-wamanda
sahar se pahle sitaron ke karwan guzre
