taskin-e-marg bhul gaya iztirab mein
allah pad gaya mera dil kis azab mein

allah re farogh rukh-e-barq-tab mein
masti mein hai shabab ki masti shabab mein

ai dast-e-shauq aaj wo aae hain khwab mein
daman na chhut jae kahin iztirab mein

har naqsha-e-khayal bana aur mit gaya
ummid ab kahan dil-e-khana-kharab mein

juya-e-aish-o-talib-e-rahat nahin hun
ek lutf aa raha hai mujhe is azab mein

begana-e-firaq hun ummid-o-yas se
ek kashmakash hai is dil-e-khana-kharab mein

betabi-e-firaq ka aalam na puchhiye
daman-e-zabt bhi hai kaf-e-iztirab mein
