na-umidi ne lahu dil ka baha rakkha hai
ab mere daman-e-ehsas mein kya rakkha hai

rah-e-pur-nur ke bhatke hue kuchh taron ne
sare mahaul ko tarik bana rakkha hai

mere nazdik qayamat ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
tu ne jo zist ka mafhum bata rakkha hai

teri masum umangon ko badi muddat se
meri aankhon ne gunahgar bana rakkha hai

teri rahmat ke sahaaron ne khudawand-e-karim
gharq hone se safine ko bacha rakkha hai

phir bhi ek jashn-e-tarab dil mein racha leta hun
go mujhe gardish-e-dauran ne sata rakkha hai

meri ghurbat ne mere fan ka udaya hai mazaq
teri daulat ne tera aib chhupa rakkha hai

main ne dekha hai isi baat ke parde mein sukut
tu ne jis baat pe kohram macha rakkha hai

kaise phir ho na nigahon mein murawwat ki jhalak
dil jo ikhlas ki kirnon se saja rakkha hai

apni taqdis pe yun shaikh-e-haram mat itra
main ne bhi parcham-e-tauhid utha rakkha hai
