na-fahm kahun main use aisa bhi nahin hai
kya shai hai mohabbat wo samajhta bhi nahin hai

mana ki bahut rabta-e-ishq hai nazuk
hum tod saken jis ko wo rishta bhi nahin hai

har shai se juda hai dil-e-barbaad ki fitrat
jab tak na ho barbaad sanwarta bhi nahin hai

ummid hai wabasta meri abr-e-karam se
aur abr-e-karam hai ki barasta bhi nahin hai

aasan nahin is rah-e-mohabbat se guzarna
jis rah mein halka sa ujala bhi nahin hai

har waqt gulistan pe khizan ki hain nigahen
khulte hue phulon ka bharosa bhi nahin hai

hamdardi ahbab ka kya zikr hai 'shair'
is samt koi dekhne wala bhi nahin hai
