pata hun iztirab rukh-e-pur-hijab mein
shayad chhupa hai dil mera un ki naqab mein

su-e-falak wo dekhen agar pech-o-tab mein
barpa ho hashr gahan lage aaftab mein

wo chandni mein rukh se hata den agar naqab
lag jaen chaar-chand rukh-e-mahtab mein

ai na-khuda-e-kashti-e-dil dekh-bhaal ke
tufan chhupe na hon kahin qalbe-habab mein

sabr-azma nigahon ka sadqa idhar bhi dekh
phir kuchh kami si pata hun ab iztirab mein

ek tum hi aae dard ki duniya basa gae
warna raha tha kya dil-e-khana-kharab mein

'iqbaal' in ki mast-nigahon ka faiz hai
mera jahan-e-shauq hai duba shabab mein
