maza aata kisi surat agar tark-e-wafa hota
tumhaari tarah main bhi be-wafa hota to kya hota

musibat ho gai aakhir tamanna ki giraftari
agar be-muddaa hota to banda bhi khuda hota

ye shan-e-be-niyazi hai khuda malum hota hai
khuda malum kya hota agar wo but khuda hota

na rahta yun pareshan raat din main fikr-e-darman mein
jo mujh ko dard dena tha to be-darman diya hota

hamari na-umidi ka to hai ilzam qismat par
tumhaara muddaa hota to manzur-e-khuda hota hota

kisi ke pas dil hota to sharh-e-dard-e-dil karte
ye hasrat rah gai hum ko koi dard-ashna hota

azal se sokhta-saman hun fikr-e-ashiyan kya ho
na girti barq to ye soz-e-dil se jal gaya hota

na mujh se iltija hoti na khud wo mehrban hote
guzar hota bhi un ki bazm mein apna to kya hota

dam-e-akhir mariz-e-gham khuda malum kya kahta
na hote mehrban sun kar magar sun to liya hota

hamari be-kasi bhi ek na ek din kaam aa jati
agar 'bekhud' koi hum be-kason ka bhi khuda hota
