mohabbat khar-e-daman ban ke ruswa ho gai aakhir
ye aqlim-e-azizan be-zulekha ho gai aakhir

bisat-e-arzu taswir-e-sahra ho gai aakhir
wo hangamon ki basti ho ki duniya ho gai aakhir

nishan-e-subh yun gum hai ki ab nikle na jab nikle
udhar andaz-e-shab aisa ki goya ho gai aakhir

meri aankhon ka bas ek khwab thi wo hasrat-e-pinhan
jo khud un ki nigahon ka taqaza ho gai aakhir

qalam ko hai usi surat-kade ki justuju yani
kahin pinhan thi wo surat jo paida ho gai aakhir

faqat iman hi kya pamal hain iman-shikan lakhon
dilon ki wo mata-e-kafiri kya ho gai aakhir

numud-e-subh-e-wada se to khair ummid hi kya thi
wo furqat ki shab-e-hangama-ara ho gai aakhir

kabhi ye larzishen saz-ashna hongi to dekhoge
dilon ki be-kali aashob-e-dariya ho gai aakhir

hum apne chaak-e-daman par bahut ruswa rahe 'haqqi'
nazar aain-e-mahfil se shanasa ho gai aakhir
