sunta hun main sadaen ye ashkon ki jhil se
ab zindagi guzar to sabr-e-jamil se

main ne diye ki lau pe tera ism kya padha
ek raushni si phut padi thi fasil se

dil ko sukun bakhsh de ai khaliq-e-jahan
tang aa gaya hai ab ye jahan-e-zalil se

kyon ras mujh ko ishq bhi aaya nahin miyan
kyon samna hua mera hijr-e-qalil se

'tariq' ab is qadar bhi na sachche bano yahan
rad bhi kiya na ja sake tum ko dalil se
