tere labon pe agar surkhi-e-wafa hi nahin
to ye banao ye saj dhaj tujhe rawa hi nahin

main teri ruh ki patti ki tarah kanp gaya
hawa-e-subh-e-subuk-gam ko pata hi nahin

kisi umid ke phulon bhare shabistan se
jo aankh mal ke utha hun to wo hua hi nahin

faraaz-e-sham se girta raha fasana-e-shab
gada-e-gauhar-e-guftar ne suna hi nahin

chamak raha hai meri zindagi ka har lamha
main kya karun ki meri aankh mein ziya hi nahin
