main un ko kabhi had se guzarne nahin dunga
is tark-e-talluq ko main chalne nahin dunga

tum lakh uchhaala karo alfaz ke shoale
firdaus-e-mohabbat ko main jalne nahin dunga

karna hi pade chahe saba se mujhe sazish
main aap ke gesu ko sanwarne nahin dunga

mayus nigahon se tum aaina na dekho
main apni nigahon ko badalne nahin dunga

barik sahi lakh kisi shokh ka aanchal
nazron ko main shishe mein utarne nahin dunga

jab us ki bichhadte hue bhar aaengi aankhen
kis tarah main sawan ko barasne nahin dunga

wo chahe 'alim' ab kabhi aaen ki na aaen
ta-umr main palkon ko jhapakne nahin dunga
