mana ki tujh se dur bahut jaan-e-jaan rahe
lekin tere khayal se ghafil kahan rahe

tang us pe kyon na wusat-e-kaun-o-makan rahe
gir jae jo nazar se tumhaari kahan rahe

mujh sa na koi kushta-e-yaad-e-khizan rahe
lamhat-e-sar-khushi bhi to mujh par giran rahe

sajdon ke baad kuchh to wafa ka nishan rahe
meri jabin rahe na rahe aastan rahe

yun be-niyaz-e-fikr-e-bahaar-o-khizan rahe
do chaar roz jaise koi mehman rahe

rah-e-talab mein mil na saki manzil-e-umid
gum-karda raste mein bahut karwan rahe

paiham tasawwuraat-e-mohabbat ka shukriya
tum se qarib-tar hi rahe hum jahan rahe

kuchh to samajh sakunga nasheb-o-faraaz-e-dahr
achchha hai waqt mujh pe giran hai giran rahe

tauhin-e-sajda hai wo agar be-khudi nahin
jab hosh hi raha to wo sajde kahan rahe

phiki bahaar bhi hai mujhe aap ke baghair
ek aap hi hon sath to rangin khizan rahe

uf main wahan bhi tishna-e-zauq-e-talab raha
labrez lakhon shisha-o-saghar jahan rahe

ai 'mauj' hum ne gharq safina hi kar diya
minnat-kash-e-talatum-o-tufan kahan rahe
