na aaenge laut kar wo phir bhi main umr bhar intizar kar lun
idhar to aa ai gham-e-mohabbat tujhe hi ji bhar ke pyar kar lun

na jaane kab tak dhale shab-e-gham na jaane subh-e-umid kab ho
qadam qadam par bichha lun tare nafas nafas shoala-bar kar lun

kabhi ayaadat hui na us se kabhi kisi se na haal puchha
mariz-e-gham par wo mehrban hai ye kaise main eatibar kar lun

abhi salamat hai azm-e-mohkam abhi hai baqi lahu ragon mein
ulat ke rakh dun nizam-e-gulshan khizan ba-rang-e-bahaar kar lun

zara thahar ai junun-e-ulfat tu le chala hai kahan abhi se
mata-e-dil jab luta chuka hun to jaan bhi un par nisar kar lun

yahin bichhad ke main ro pada tha yahin hai bhiga zamin ka aanchal
yahin phir us se milan bhi hoga yahin pe main intizar kar lun

nahin hai baqi agar patange to rah ke tanha udas hogi
lahad se uth kar 'asir' main hi tawaf-e-shama-e-mazar kar lun
