mar kar mariz-e-gham ki wo haalat nahin rahi
yani wo iztirab ki surat nahin rahi

har lamha-e-hayat raha waqf kar-e-shauq
marne ki umr bhar mujhe fursat nahin rahi

ek nala-e-khamosh musalsal hai aur hum
yaadash-ba-khair zabt ki taqat nahin rahi

wo ahd-e-dil-farebi-e-tasir ab kahan
muddat se aah aah ki hasrat nahin rahi

dil aur hawa-e-silsila-e-jambani-e-nashat
kyun pas-e-waz-e-gham tujhe ghairat nahin rahi

har be-gunah se wada-e-bakhshish hai roz-e-hashr
goya gunah ki bhi zarurat nahin rahi

ai arz-e-shauq muzhda ki dil chaak ho gaya
taklif parda-dari-e-hasrat nahin rahi

pathra gai thi aankh magar band to na thi
ab ye bhi intizar ki surat nahin rahi

ibrat ne bekasi ka nishan bhi mita diya
udti thi jis pe khak wo turbat nahin rahi

mahshar mein bhi wo ahd-e-wafa se mukar gae
jis ki khushi thi ab wo qayamat nahin rahi

kis munh se gham ke zabt ka dawa kare koi
taqat ba-qadr-e-hasrat-e-rahat nahin rahi

'fani' ummid-e-marg ne bhi de diya jawab
jine ki hijr mein koi surat nahin rahi
