maujon ne hath de ke ubhaara kabhi kabhi
paya hai dub kar bhi kinara kabhi kabhi

karti hai tegh-e-yar ishaara kabhi kabhi
hota hai imtihan hamara kabhi kabhi

chamka hai ishq ka bhi sitara kabhi kabhi
manga hai husn ne bhi sahaara kabhi kabhi

talib ki shakl mein mili matlub ki jhalak
dekha hai hum ne ye bhi nazara kabhi kabhi

shokhi hai husn ki ye hai jazb-e-wafa ka sehr
us ne hamein salam guzara kabhi kabhi

fariyaad-e-gham rawa nahin dastur-e-ishq mein
phir bhi liya hai us ka sahaara kabhi kabhi

mushkil mein de saka na sahaara koi 'ratan'
han dard ne diya hai sahaara kabhi kabhi
