nazar-nawaz hai husn-e-khajista-pai ab bhi
khatak rahi hai magar dil mein koi shai ab bhi

ba-qaid-e-tauba wahi ehtiram hai ab bhi
meri nazar mein hai khurshid-e-jam-e-mai ab bhi

main gharq-e-be-khudi-e-shauq hi sahi lekin
tumhein pukar lun itna to hosh hai ab bhi

ye zarf hai mera ai rahbar-numa rahzan
ki chal raha hun tere sath pai-ba-pai ab bhi

ghalat nahin ki ho tum jada-azma-e-haram
na hogi rah-e-wafa shaikh tum se tai ab bhi

wo soz-o-saz-e-gham-e-ishq ab kahan lekin
nikalti hai mere naghmon se gham ki lai ab bhi

kabhi idhar se koi nai-nawaz guzra tha
faza mein gunj rahi hai sada-e-nai ab bhi
