kya sitam kar gai ai dost teri chashm-e-karam
jaise tere nahin duniya ke gunahgar hain hum

koi aalam ho bahar-haal guzar jata hai
hum na sargashta-e-rahat hain na aashufta-e-gham

teri zulfon ki ghani chhanw bahut dur sahi
jada-paima hain hawadis ki kadi dhup mein hum

nikhat-e-gul se kuchh is tarah mulaqat hui
yaad aaya teri begana-washi ka aalam

hum hain tufan-e-malamat hai gali hai teri
husn-e-taqdir se hote hain ye haalat baham

le gaya ishq kisi shahid-e-nadida tak
muddaton zauq-e-parastish ne tarashe the sanam

hum ne har uqda-e-dushwar ka munh chum liya
kitne dilkash hain teri zulf-e-girah-gir ke kham

ku-e-qatil hi sahi manzil-e-rahat na sahi
thak ke baithe hain ki aate hain bahut dur se hum

ku-e-jaanan mein kahin aaj to hum bhi the 'rawish'
shukr hai hum ko na pahchan sake dair o haram
