tahrik-e-gham-o-alam to hai taskin-e-dil-e-nakaam nahin
kahne ko to duniya hai lekin duniya mein kahin aaram nahin

rudad-e-mohabbat ke sadqe rudad-e-mohabbat kya kahiye
ye aisa fasana hai jis ka aaghaz to hai anjam nahin

tafsir-e-hadis-e-ulfat ko na-waqif-e-ulfat kya jaane
ye bite dinon ki baaten hain afsana-e-subh-o-sham nahin

itna to thahar ai girya-e-gham kar lene de mashq-e-zabt-e-alam
umde hue aansu pi jaana har ek ke bas ka kaam nahin

kyon pa-e-nazar mein laghzish hai kyon dast-e-talab tharraate hain
rindon ko ye kaisa aalam hai gardish mein abhi to jam nahin

hum ahl-e-mohabbat ke dil par malum nahin kya bit gai
aankhon mein to aansu milte hain honton pe hansi ka nam nahin

jo un ki nazar ne bakhsha hai tum kya samjho tum kya jaano
us dard ko ai duniya walo jis dard ki lazzat aam nahin

wo jam ki jis ke pine se rindon ka muqaddar jag uthe
saqi ki qasam maikhane mein aisa to koi bhi jam nahin

qismat ka kuchh is mein dakhl nahin sirat hai 'kamal' apni apni
main lakh pareshan hun lekin khud-dari par ilzam nahin
