sham-o-sahar har ek ghadi is ka khayal to na kar
apni hayat-e-mukhtasar waqf-e-malal to na kar

zakhm ke indimal ko us ki raza pe chhod de
marham-e-lutf ke liye us se sawal na kar

kar-gah-e-hayat mein sabr-o-sukun se kaam le
jo tujhe mil nahin saka us ka malal to na kar

gham ki har ek dastan shauq se kar bayan magar
hijr ke mah-o-sal mein zikr-e-visal to na kar

apne kamal-e-shauq ka kar na kisi se tazkira
ghair ko ghair hi samajh waqif-e-haal to na kar

us se wafa talab na kar wo to jafa-pasand hai
apna dayar-e-shauq mein jina muhaal to na kar
