nigah-e-ishq mein tabindagi nahin milti
charagh-e-husn se ab raushni nahin milti

sar-e-niyaz jhukaega kya koi khuddar
nigah-e-naz se jab dad hi nahin milti

sharik-e-dard-e-mohabbat koi nahin hota
kisi se dad-e-mohabbat kabhi nahin milti

nigah-e-saqi-e-raana ka ye bhi ehsan hai
ba-qadr-e-zauq mai-e-agahi nahin milti

ye mai-kada hai yahan qaid-e-zarf-e-zauq bhi hai
ye kya kaha ki mai-e-zindagi nahin milti

ziya-e-husn hai mahdud bazm-e-imkan tak
phir is ke baad kahin raushni nahin milti

baja hai aap ka irshad manta hun main
kalam-e-'raaz' mein ab zindagi nahin milti
