nahin ki wo mujhe tanha udas chhod gaya
mere nawah ko bhi waqf-e-yas chhod gaya

ada ho us ki nawazish ka shukriya kyunkar
jo de ke mujh ko gham-e-be-qayas chhod gaya

wafa ki rah mein qurban ho ke wo mujh ko
bhare jahan mein waqf-e-hiras chhod gaya

ye mere haal pe us ke karam ki arzani
jo gahri yas mein thodi si aas chhod gaya

ata-e-husn-shanasi ke ba'd wo mujh ko
jahan-e-husn mein bahr-e-sipas chhod gaya

luta ke jalwa-e-rukhsar-o-lab ki rangini
wo phul phul ko rangin libas chhod gaya

mere khulus ko hasil tha eatibar us ka
wo mere dil mein ghamon ki asas chhod gaya

us ek bosa-e-rukhsat ki lazzat-agini
jo mere honton pe sadiyon ki pyas chhod gaya

wo apne husn ko hamrah le gaya lekin
hazar husn mere aas-pas chhod gaya

ajib tohfa hai us ki taraf se mere liye
kitab-e-ishq ka jo iqtibas chhod gaya

judai us ki badi talkh hai magar 'maghmum
meri nawa mein wo apni mithas chhod gaya
