makan mera azal se dhundhti phirti thi virani
nihayat shauq se ki dil ne ranj-o-gham ki mehmani

qarar us ko nahin milta singhaar us ka nahin banta
mere dil se tere gesu ne sikhi hai pareshani

khata-e-fash hai hum ne jafa ko kyun jafa samjha
qayamat tak na jaegi hamari ye pashemani

bataen kya tumhaari ek nahin se hum pe kya guzri
umiden thin hazaron hae jin par phir gaya pani

adu ke qaul ki tum ne hamesha pasdari ki
hamari baat lekin aaj tak ek bhi nahin mani

nazar aata hai aasan sab jise dushwar kahte hain
tariq-e-ishq mein har ek dushwari hai aasani

maza deta nahin 'hafiz' rukh-o-gesu ka nazzara
misal-e-aina jab tak na ho aankhon mein hairani
