tadbir-e-qarar-e-subh nahin saman-e-sukun-e-sham nahin
kambakht mohabbat walon ko duniya mein kahin aaram nahin

wo roz nahin wo raat nahin wo subh nahin wo sham nahin
jab ranj nahin afkar nahin andoh nahin aaram nahin

samjhega na koi samjha hai asrar-e-jahan-e-fitrat ko
ye dil ki lagi wo hai jis ka aaghaz nahin anjam nahin

maghmum kiya nashad kiya bas dil ne hamein barbaad kiya
qismat se shikayat koi nahin taqdir pe kuchh ilzam nahin

wo lamha fana ka jaan liya paigham qaza ka man liya
jab dil mein kisi ka dhyan nahin jab lab pe kisi ka nam nahin

ye ishq khayal-e-kham sahi ruswa-e-jahan bad-nam sahi
kya tera ghurur-o-naz bata ai husn khayal-e-kham nahin

taqdir ne tera dard diya din raat jigar ka khun piya
duniya mein hamara is ke siwa kuchh shaghl nahin kuchh kaam nahin

tute nahin roz-o-shab mahshar kis waqt tere diwanon par
kab teri nigah ko madd-e-nazar ushshaq ka qatl-e-am nahin

behtar hai yahi khud uth jae mai-khana-e-hasti se 'nami'
sahba-e-mohabbat hi se agar lab-rez ye dil ka jam nahin
