nawed-e-amad-e-fasl-e-bahaar bhi to nahin
ye be-dili hai ki ab intizar bhi to nahin

jo bhul jae koi shaghl-e-jam-o-mina mein
gham-e-habib gham-e-rozgar bhi to nahin

mariz-e-baada-e-ishrat ye ek jahan kyun hai
surur-e-baada ba-qadr-e-khumar bhi to nahin

mata-e-sabr-o-sukun jis ne dil se chhin liya
wo dil-nawaz ada-ashkar bhi to nahin

qafas mein ji mera lag to nahin gaya hamdam
ki ab wo nala-e-be-ikhtiyar bhi to nahin

hai ain wasl mein bhi pur-kharosh-e-parwana
sukun-e-qalb ba-aghosh-e-yar bhi to nahin

nigah-e-naz ki be-gana-e-mohabbat hai
sitam to ye hai ki be-gana-war bhi to nahin

wo ek rahbar-e-nadan ki jis ko ishq kahen
dubo ke kashti-e-dil sharmsar bhi to nahin

junun ko dars-e-amal de ke kya kare koi
ba-qadr-e-hausla-e-dil bahaar bhi to nahin
