taghayyuraat se kab rabt-e-gulsitan na raha
bahaar aai to kya khatra-e-khizan na raha

jabin jhukai to jannat kharid li jaise
samajh rahe hain ki ab koi imtihan na raha

faza mein gunj rahi hain kahaniyan gham ki
hamin ko hausla-e-sharh-e-dastan na raha

unhen to hashr mein bhi hai khayal-e-ruswai
hamein khushi hai koi parda darmiyan na raha

gham-e-maal gham-e-zindagi gham-e-dauran
hamare ishq ka charcha kahan kahan na raha

hawa palatte hi har zakhm ho gaya taza
bahaar-e-ishq ko andesha-e-khizan na raha

'matin' qadr hui aah kab nasheman ki
chaman mein barq ke laeq jab aashiyan na raha
