talluq tark karne se mohabbat kam nahin hoti
bhadakti hai ye aatish din-ba-din maddham nahin hoti

nibhana aashnai kar ke mushkil to nahin lekin
kisi se bhi mohabbat na-gahan yak-dam nahin hoti

tumhaari soch par hain munhasir ranginiyan dil ki
ye mahfil bewafai se kabhi darham nahin hoti

utar jae jo pura imtihan-o-azmaish mein
wo chashm-e-dil kabhi phir aansuon se nam nahin hoti

zamana chahe jitne rang-o-rukh badle haqiqat mein
nidarta mard-e-maidan mom ki mariyam nahin hoti

ajab dastur hai abrar is duniya-e-be-par ka
shikasta-rang patton par fida shabnam nahin hoti
