kahin jamal-e-azal hum ko runuma na mila
mile to husn magar husn aap sa na mila

rahi talash magar dard aashna na mila
hamare baad unhen hum sa ba-wafa na mila

gae hain dair-o-haram mein bhi barha lekin
wo aasra jo diya tu ne saqiya na mila

jo dur the to bahut parsa the ye zahid
jo pas aae to koi bhi parsa na mila

muqable ki jo taqat thi wo ubhar to saki
khuda ka shukr hai kashti ko nakhuda na mila

jawab-e-jannat-e-rangin sahi teri duniya
magar hamein to yahan lutf ai khuda na mila

hawa-o-hirs ke lakhon shikar pae magar
koi bhi dard mohabbat mein mubtala na mila

jo chashm-e-mast se chhalka ke de alast ki mai
tere siwa koi duniya mein saqiya na mila

mujhi ko bakhsh diye kul jahan ke aalam
gham-e-jahan ke liye koi dusra na mila

kahun to kis se kahun dil ki baat ai 'darshan'
sune jo dard-e-bashar aisa ham-nawa na mila
