muhtaj-e-did-o-jalwa karun kyun nazar ko main
nazron mein khinch lata hun jab jalwa-gar ko main

dekhun to jurm aur na dekhun to kufr hai
ab kya kahun jamal-e-rukh-e-fitna-gar ko main

aisa nahin ki dil mein mere zakhm hi na ho
aankhon mein rok leta hun khun-e-jigar ko main

daman-e-sabr chhutne lagta hai hath se
jab dekhta hun duri-e-sham-o-sahar ko main

manzil pe aa ke aaj ye samjha ki aaj tak
manzil samajh raha tha faqat rahguzar ko main

manzil ki justuju mein na jaane kahan kahan
sar par liye phira hun ghubar-e-safar ko main

ek qasr-e-arzu tha gira tut tut kar
hasrat se dekhta raha diwar-o-dar ko main

milne ko 'nur' yun to bahut gham yahan mile
tarsa tamam umr gham-e-mo'tabar ko main
