mat puchh tu jaane de ahwal ko furqat ke
jis taur kate kate ayyam musibat ke

ji mein hai dikha dije yak roz tere qad ko
jo shakhs ki munkir hain ai yar qayamat ke

kahta hun ghalat tujh se main dil ko chhudaunga
chhutte hain kahin pyare bandhe hue ulfat ke

qasr-o-mahal-e-munim tujh ko hi mubarak hon
baithe hain hum aasuda goshe mein qanaat ke

bedar chhupae se chhupte hain koi tere
chehre se numayan hain aasar mohabbat ke
