kahan dam legi apni hasrat-e-didar kya jaane
chhalak jaega kab ye saghar-e-sarshaar kya jaane

mohabbat wo kahani hai jo honton tak nahin aati
wafa ki khamushi hangama-e-guftar kya jaane

jo pahle hi qadam par baith jae tod kar himmat
wo tan-asan taqaza-e-rah-e-dushwar kya jaane

nahin zeba hadis-e-dawat-e-mansur ai 'shaariq'
ki is daur-e-hawas mein koi rasm-e-dar kya jaane
