rah wafa mein koi sahib-e-junun na mila
dilon mein azm to pae ragon mein khun na mila

hazar hum se muqaddar ne ki dagha lekin
hamein mita ke muqaddar ko bhi sukun na mila

gulon ke rukh pe wahi tazgi ka aalam hai
na jaane un ko gham-e-rozgar kyun na mila

kahan se lae wo ek bul-hawas mazaq-e-salim
jise nazar to mili jazba-e-darun na mila

mili thin tark-e-mohabbat ke baad bhi aankhen
magar wo kaif wo eajaz wo fusun na mila

falak-shigaf tha is darja iztirab-e-amal
ki bandagi mein farishton ko bhi sukun na mila

na jaane kis ke sahaare ruka hua hai falak
hamein to farsh-e-zamin par koi sutun na mila
