tadap ai dil ki phir tere tadapne ka maqam aaya
muqaddar mera ban kar rah gai hai tishnagi meri

na saqi ki nazar utthi na mujh tak daur-e-jam aaya
shab-e-furqat junun-e-arzu lamhat-e-tanhai

dil-e-nakaam hi in markon mein mere kaam aaya
hua jis tarah bhi main ne guzara roz-e-furqat ko

wo aalam kya kahun ai ham-nashin jab waqt-e-sham aaya
mere dil ne diya dars-e-haqiqat ahl-e-danish ko

ye diwana to tha lekin khirad-mandon ke kaam aaya
na jaana un ki mahfil mein badi tauhin thi un ki

musalsal un ki jaanib se salam aaya payam aaya
