kisi ke ishq mein khud kho hawas baithe hain
unhen khabar hi nahin hum udas baithe hain

koi jatae unhen ja ke nama-bar ban ke
wo ek hum hain jo ab mahw-e-yas baithe hain

nigah-e-lutf-o-karam de gai hamein ghaflat
jo muddaton se tere dar ke pas baithe hain

khabar nahin hai tumhin ko ai kash gar hote
ki dil mein le ke mohabbat ki aas baithe hain

shamim-e-gul ki tamanna hamein zarur nahin
masham-e-jaan mein liye un ki yas baithe hain

bala-kashan-e-gham-e-intizar hain ai 'prem'
nigahen dar pe lagi hain udas baithe hain
