kyon ai khayal-e-yar tujhe kya khabar nahin
main kyon bataun dard kidhar hai kidhar nahin

nashtar ka kaam kya hai ab achchha hai dard-e-dil
sadqe tere nahin nahin ai chaara-gar nahin

kahti hai ahl-e-zauq se betabi-e-khayal
jis mein ye iztirab ki khu ho bashar nahin

hasti ka qafila sar-e-manzil pahunch gaya
aur hum kaha kiye abhi waqt-e-safar nahin

diwan-gan-e-ishq pe kya jaane kya bani
waraftagi-e-husn ko apni khabar nahin

duniya-e-dard-e-dil hai to duniya-e-shauq-e-ruh
hon aur bhi jahan mujhe kuchh bhi khabar nahin

sahra-e-ishq-o-hasti-e-mauhum-o-raaz-e-husn
in manzilon mein dil sa koi rahbar nahin

har zarra jis se ek dil-e-muztar na ban sake
wo koi aur chiz hai teri nazar nahin

is be-dili se kahne ka 'bekhud' maal kya
alfaz kuchh hain jama maani magar nahin
