koi mujh sa mustahiqq-e-rahm-o-gham-khwari nahin
sau maraz hain aur ba-zahir koi bimari nahin

har qadam par bagh-e-alam mein bichha hai dam-e-husn
kaun aisa hai jise zauq-e-giraftari nahin

dekhe gar ghaur se duniya hai ghaflat ka tilism
ye bhi khwab-e-ishq hai furqat se bedari nahin

jaan le kar bhi jo hath aae to arzan jaaniye
sahal aisi jins-e-ulfat ki kharidari nahin

ishq ki nakaamiyon ne is qadar khincha hai tul
mere gham-khwaron ko ab yara-e-gham-khwari nahin

mujh se zabt-e-dard-e-ulfat ki shikayat hai fuzul
ai dil-e-nadan tujhe ehsas-e-khud-dari nahin

meri daulat dekh kar kyun tum ne thandi sans li
be-kason par rasm-e-ain-e-sitamgari nahin

har taraf se ye sada aati hai mulk-e-husn mein
ye wo duniya hai jahan rasm-e-wafadari nahin

ho gaya shayad ki sarf-e-soz-e-gham sab khun-e-dil
aansuon ka ab wo dariya aankh se jari nahin

us ko rahm aae kahan ye na-umidi mein umid
dil ko khush karna hai shaghl-e-girya-o-zari nahin

hum hain chup baithe hue lekin hai dil masruf-e-ishq
is adim-ul-fursati ka nam bekari nahin

band aaankhon se nazar aati hai har shai dahr ki
aalam-e-ruya mein farq-e-khwab-o-bedari nahin
