mujh se na jaane kaun si aisi khata hui
shayad wafa ke jurm mein mujh ko saza hui

ye gham nahin ki aah meri na-rasa hui
un ki jafa hi meri wafa ka sila hui

guzra na zindagi mein koi din sukun se
ya-rab mujhe hayat ye kaisi ata hui

manzil pe aarzuon ne daman chhuda liya
hasrat kabhi bhi dil se na mere juda hui

ummid-o-gham bhi rahte hain dil mein alag alag
kab dard-o-arzu ki kasak ek-ja hui

har roz mai-kadon mein rahi haziri meri
zahid teri namaz to aksar qaza hui

gumrahiyon mein itni lagin mujh ko thokaren
be-rah-rawi aaj meri rah-numa hui

'salik' mere sabab se hua dusron ka nam
ruswai jab junun mein meri ja-ba-ja hui
