mujh ko furqat ki asiri se rihai hoti
kash isa ke ewaz maut hi aai hoti

aashiqi mein jo maza hai to yahi furqat hai
lutf kya tha jo agar us se judai hoti

gar na ho shama to madum hain parwane bhi
tu na hota to sanam kab ye khudai hoti

ghair se karte ho abru ke ishaare har dam
kabhi talwar to mujh par bhi lagai hoti

us ki har dam ki nasihat se main tang aaya hun
kash naseh se bhi aankh us ne ladai hoti

hun wo gham-dost ki sab apne hi dil mein bharta
gham-e-alam ki agar is mein samai hoti

khat ke aaghaz mein to mujh se hua saf tu kab
lutf tab tha ki safai mein safai hoti

abr-e-rahmat se to mahrum rahi kisht meri
koi bijli hi falak tu ne girai hoti

dasht-e-pur-khar mein mehndi ki hawas bhi nikli
kab hamari kaf-e-pa warna hinai hoti

dhoi kyun ashk ke tufan se lauh-e-mahfuz
sar-nawisht apni hi 'nasikh' ne mitai hoti
