nigah-e-mehr se dekho na gham-zada dil ko
banao aur na mushkil hamari mushkil ko

zamana qatl hua aur wo rahi pyasi
gila hai abru-e-qatil se tegh-e-qatil ko

mere khayal ne khalwat ko kar diya mahfil
teri nigah ne khalwat banaya mahfil ko

na jaane dil ka tujhe kuchh khayal hai ki nahin
tera khayal to wajh-e-nashat hai dil ko

nishan-e-manzil-e-maqsud pa hi jaega
wo rah-naward ki madfan bana de manzil ko

jila de barq jo hasil se hai yahi hasil
ki khauf-e-barq se hasil na ho sukun dil ko

kahan se aai ye hairat nigah-e-'bekhud' mein
ki us ko dekh ke sakta hai ahl-e-mahfil ko
