mili hum ko rahat musibat ke baad
ye din hath aaya hai muddat ke baad

musibat nahin uthti rahat ke baad
qayamat hai iflas sarwat ke baad

main kahta hun chupke se ab pher do
mera dil mujhe tum khayanat ke baad

hai saqi ko shayad ki khauf-e-khuda
pilata hai zahid ko hujjat ke baad

bakhede hain sau zindagi mein to kya
marahil hazaron hain rehlat ke baad

rulaya rula kar hansaya mujhe
ye shokhi to dekho shararat ke baad

shab-e-hijr kahta hai roz-e-firaq
phir ek hashr hai is qayamat ke baad

dua hai meri dil se ye dam-ba-dam
na ho subh-e-gham sham-e-ishrat ke baad

zamane ne jo kuchh diya le liya
milin talkhiyan bhi halawat ke baad

ye qismat kahan ye muqaddar kahan
ki phir roz-e-wasl aae furqat ke baad

hai 'masud' pesh-e-nazar roz-e-hijr
uthana pada ranj rahat ke baad
