kya ajab marne pe bhi ishq ki khu sath rahe
sukh bhi jae agar phul to bu sath rahe

kanpte hathon se daman-e-taqaddus na chhute
mai-kade jaun to ek zarf-e-wazu sath rahe

a khayal-e-rukh-e-jaanan meri jaan tujh pe nisar
donon aalam mujhe hasil hain jo tu sath rahe

hum gada-e-dar-e-mai-khana ko hai kaam se kaam
jam-o-saghar na sahi ek adu sath rahe

kuchh to anjam-e-mohabbat ki khabar ho us ko
mera madfan jo mitao to kadu sath rahe

chhod jata hai koi apni zarurat ki chiz
jaun masjid mein jo main jam-o-subu sath rahe

ashk-e-khunin ka bhi tar na tute a dil
zakhm-e-gham ke liye ek tar-e-rafu sath rahe

qatra-e-ashk na khali rahe rangini se
jab kabhi aankh se nikle to lahu sath rahe

tujh pe khul jae tere dil ki haqiqat zahid
ek dam bhi jo koi aaina-ru sath rahe

tir-e-sayyaad na nikle tere dil se 'bedil'
tod kar nikle bhi dil ko to lahu sath rahe
