mehrban mujh pe koi naz ka pala hota
mera pahlu bhi kisi chand ka haala hota

phir dikhata tere jalwon ka fusun gar tujh ko
meri aankhon se koi dekhne wala hota

gar muyassar na thi duniya mein masarrat tujh ko
zist ko dard ke sanche hi mein dhaala hota

ranj-o-gham ek hain is kar-gah-e-hasti ke
dil ki aankhon se magar dekhne wala hota

chun liya mujh ko ki mansha-e-mashiyyat tha yahi
husn ka tere koi chahne wala hota

harf aa kar hi raha tere karam par saqi
girne wale ko kisi ne to sanbhaala hota

raaz-e-dil kah ke unhen kar diya khud-bin 'sahir'
yun mohabbat ko musibat mein na dala hota
