mile kyunkar sukun jab tak ye tanhai nahin jati
wo uljhan hai tabiat mein ki suljhai nahin jati

ye kaisa khauf kyon bedad farmai nahin jati
aji bhulo qayamat ko abhi aai nahin jati

tajjub hai namak-dan par namak-dan ho chuke khali
bala ke zakhm-e-dil thahre ki gahrai nahin jati

samajh le ya to kuchh meri samajh ka pher hai naseh
tujhi se ya mere matlab ki samjhai nahin jati

jo kuchh biti shab-e-gham mujh pe so biti chalo chhodo
gai guzri kahani mujh se dohrai nahin jati

ruken ashk-e-musalsal chashm-e-pur-nam se are tauba
ye badli khud baras padti hai barsai nahin jati
