tere aasman se azab kyun nahin tutta
meri nind aur mera khwab kyun nahin tutta

tera zikr karta hun subh-o-sham namaz mein
ye tilism-e-ajr-o-sawab kyun nahin tutta

mere khadd-o-khal bikharte kyun nahin rah mein
tere aaine ka sarab kyun nahin tutta

tere lafz lafz ki muntazir hain samaaten
lab-e-husn tera hijab kyun nahin tutta

kade mausamon ka hadaf hun main to 'qamar-raza'
meri shakh par se gulab kyun nahin tutta
