kuchh is tarah se nazar se guzar gaya koi
ki dil ko gham ka saza-war kar gaya koi

dil-e-sitam-zada ko jaise kuchh hua hi nahin
khud apne husn se yun be-khabar gaya koi

wo ek jalwa-e-sad-rang ek hujum-e-bahaar
na jaane kaun tha jaane kidhar gaya koi

nazar ki tishna-e-didar thi rahi mahrum
nazar uthai to dil mein utar gaya koi

nigah-e-shauq ki mahrumiyon se na-waqif
nigah-e-shauq pe ilzam dhar gaya koi

ab un ke husn mein husn-e-nazar bhi shamil hai
kuchh aur meri nazar se sanwar gaya koi

kisi ke panw ki aahat ki dil ki dhadkan thi
hazar bar utha su-e-dar gaya koi

nasib-e-ahl-e-wafa ye sukun-e-dil to na tha
zarur nala-e-dil be-asar gaya koi

utha phir aaj mere dil mein rashk ka tufan
phir un ki rah se ba-chashm-e-tar gaya koi

ye kah ke yaad karenge 'hafiz' dost mujhe
wafa ki rasm ko painda kar gaya koi
