teri ummid ke asbab nazar aate nahin
kyon mujhe koi hasin khwab nazar aate nahin

itna bhatka hun aziyyat ke bayaban mein ki ab
koi bhi lamha-e-nayab nazar aate nahin

kis qadar dhundle hain mazlum ki aahon se falak
mehr-o-anjum hun ki mahtab nazar aate nahin

dast-bardar nahin rasm-e-talluq se main
phir bhala kyon mujhe ahbab nazar aate nahin

itni duri hai ab un se ki mujhe ai 'shauqi'
chain se hain ki wo betab nazar aate nahin
