na-ashna-e-dard nahin bewafa nahin
ek aashna ki hae mera aashna nahin

laun jo dil ki baat zaban par to kis liye
main jaanta nahin hun ki tu jaanta nahin

jalta raha hun zist ke dozakh mein umr bhar
ye aur baat hai meri koi khata nahin

ek saghar-e-hayat ki khatir tamam umr
wo kaun sa hai zahr jo main ne piya nahin

shayad darud-e-fasl-e-bahaaran qarib hai
ahl-e-junun ne chaak-e-gareban siya nahin

husn-e-urus-e-gul ki jamal-e-saman-baran
duniya mein kuchh bhi zauq-e-nazar ke siwa nahin

tere harim-e-naz ki us ko khabar ho kya
jo sarhad-e-khayal se aage gaya nahin

'rifat' jahan mein rasm-e-wafa hi nahin rahi
un se to kya kisi se bhi mujh ko gila nahin
