kisi manzar mein tujh bin dilkashi pai nahin jati
tabiat lakh bahlata hun bahlai nahin jati

mohabbat bahs-e-gham ke darmiyan lai nahin jati
ye kashti dekh is tufan mein daudai nahin jati

musibat apne hathon ishq ki lai nahin jati
bhadak uthti hai khud ye aag bhadkai nahin jati

mera ek ek nafas karta hai ghammazi mohabbat ki
sukut-e-maslahat se shan-e-goyai nahin jati

jise main zindagi-e-ishq ka hasil samajhta tha
zaban par ab wahi rudad-e-gham lai nahin jati

bayan-e-arzu to kya ki un ke samne 'afsun'
zaban par shauq ki rudad bhi lai nahin jati
