kisi pe bar-e-digar bhi nigah kar na sake
koi bhi shauq ba-hadd-e-gunah kar na sake

ujadd-pane mein talab kar gae jawaz-e-khata
khizar ke sath bhi hum to nibah kar na sake

dayar-e-hijr basaya hai jo ki barson mein
dam-e-visal ki khatir tabah kar na sake

aman talab na hue dasht-e-be-panah mein hum
sawad-e-jaan bhi magar harf-e-rah kar na sake

safar-maab yahi bahr-o-bar hai phir bhi hum
paron ko apne kusha khwah-makhwah kar na sake
