taqdir mein izafa-e-soz-e-wafa hua
dil mein jo tum ne aag laga di to kya hua

kahte hain jis ko maut hai ek be-khudi ki nind
us ko fana kahan hai jo tujh par fana hua

ai khadiman-e-husn ye kya intizam hai
ab tak charagh-e-tur pada hai bujha hua

hasti o nisti ki haden dur rah gain
ye aa gaya kahan main tujhe dhundhta hua

munh se dua nikal hi gai waqt-e-qatl bhi
kahna ye tha ki haqq-e-mohabbat ada hua

bahs-e-niyaz-o-naz thi kal bazm-e-husn mein
'simab' kuchh khabar nahin kya faisla hua
