nahin kuchh faiz hasil tha zamane se khafa ho kar
main diwana bana hun khud hi us but par fana ho kar

meri duniya mein ashk-o-khun ka tanta raha har-dam
kabhi teri wafaon mein kabhi tum se juda ho kar

tasawwur mein bhi pindar-e-wafa ka lutf hasil tha
tumhaari zulf-e-qatil-e-pesha ke kham mein fana ho kar

ganwai ashkon ne tasir jo khun-e-jigar ki thi
gira jab aab-e-gauhar bhi libas-e-tan pe wa ho kar

yahi duniya ki tang-bini se milta hai wafaon ko
juda ho jate hain aashiq sanam se bewafa ho kar

wahi be-sud si bandish zamane ke usulon ki
wafa ko qaid kar deti hain zanjiren saza ho kar

main kin majburiyon ka ab karun matam bata 'baaligh'
jo paya be-khudi mein wo ganwaya aashna ho kar
