na sahi gar unhen khayal nahin
ki hamara bhi ab wo haal nahin

yaad unhen wada-e-visal nahin
kab kiya tha yahi khayal nahin

aise bigde wo sun ke shauq ki baat
aaj tak hum se bol-chaal nahin

mujh ko ab gham ye hai ki baad mere
khatir-e-yar be-malal nahin

afw-e-haq ka hai mai-kashon pe nuzul
rezish-e-abr-e-barshagal nahin

hum pe kyun arz-e-haal-e-dil pe itab
elchi ko kahin zawal nahin

sun ke mujh se wo khwahish-e-pa-bos
hans ke kahne lage majal nahin

dil ko hai yaad shauq ka wo hunar
jis se badh kar koi kamal nahin

aap nadim na hon ki 'hasrat' se
shikwa-e-gham ka ehtimal nahin
