nazar ko waqf-e-jamal kar ke na zikr kar lutf-e-zindagi ka
husul-e-maqsad jahan mein mushkil yahan hua kaun kab kisi ka

usi ki ab tak nawa-e-rangin bani hui hai hayat-e-insan
sukut-e-paiham ke baad tu ne jo saz chheda tha zindagi ka

junun-e-fitrat bhi pal raha tha nuqush-e-hasrat ubhar rahe the
nawed-e-ulfat ko sun ke chaunke karam tha shayad ye be-khudi ka

kabhi na aankhon se ashk nikle kabhi na shikwa zaban pe aaya
yaqin hai tum tadap uthoge kahunga jab haal bebasi ka

usi ke sunne ki hai tamanna 'wafa' usi ki mujhe hawas hai
nawa-e-ulfat ke sath us ne jo saz chheda tha zindagi ka
