khizan ka zikr na zikr-e-bahaar karte rahe
tujhi ko teri nigahon se pyar karte rahe

mata-e-dard ki badhti rahi na jaane kyon
ilaj-e-dard mere gham-gusar karte rahe

dayar-e-husn ke jalwe the khub-tar lekin
meri nazar ke liye intizar karte rahe

mujhe to raqs-e-masaib bhi ras aa na sake
wo bazm-ha-e-surud-o-sitar karte rahe

kabhi yaqin-e-mohabbat na tha na hai lekin
fareb-khurda tera e'tibar karte rahe
