manzur nahin ranj ko rahat mere dil ki
furqat ko gawara nahin furqat mere dil ki

kya puchhte ho chaaragaro dard-o-alam ko
surat se ayan hoti hai haalat mere dil ki

har-waqt musibat mein hai har-waqt bala mein
kya dard-o-alam se hui khilqat mere dil ki

bawar nahin aata hai to ai jaan tum aa kar
khud dekh lo haalat shab-e-furqat mere dil ki

wa'da to kiya hai shab-e-furqat mein ajal ne
shayad ki thikane lagi mehnat mere dil ki

wo ghair ki ulfat se agar baz bhi aaen
jaegi na ta-zist kudurat mere dil ki

kya lutf mila hijr ka us ko bhi kahin 'lutf'
kyon ghair ko manzur hai rahat mere dil ki
