tere wade ka ikhtitam nahin
ki qayamat pe bhi qayam nahin

bewafai tumhaari aam hui
ab kisi ko kisi se kaam nahin

kis liye dawa-e-zulekhai
ghair yusuf nahin ghulam nahin

wasl ke baad hijr ka kya kaam
dur gardun ka intizam nahin

kaun sunta hai nala-o-fariyaad
charkh ko khauf-e-intiqam nahin

khal-e-lab dekh kar hua malum
koi dana baghair-e-dam nahin

aap mein kyun ki aaun jab ki tu aae
khalwat-e-khas bazm-e-am nahin

nala karta hun log sunte hain
aap se mera kuchh kalam nahin

jis jagah hai wahan bhi hai bohtan
ki kisi ja tera maqam nahin

roz-e-furqat ko roz-e-hashr na jaan
sham par bhi to ikhtitam nahin

hai khuda hi 'qalaq' jo aaj bujhe
subh hote nahin ki sham nahin
