tu urus-e-sham-e-khayal bhi to jamal-e-ru-e-e-sahar bhi hai
ye zarur hai ki ba-in hama mera ehtimam-e-nazar bhi hai

ye mera nasib hai ham-nashin sar-e-rah bhi na mile kahin
wahi mera jada-e-justaju wahi un ki rahguzar bhi hai

na ho muzmahil mere ham-safar tujhe shayad us ki nahin khabar
inhen zulmaton hi ke dosh par abhi karwan-e-sahar bhi hai

hama kashmakash meri zindagi kabhi aa ke dekh ye bebasi
teri yaad wajh-e-sukun sahi wahi raaz-e-dida-e-tar bhi hai

tere qurb ne jo badha diye kabhi mit sake na wo fasle
wahi panw hain wahi aable wahi apna zauq-e-safar bhi hai

ba-hazar danish-o-agahi meri maslahat hai abhi yahi
main 'surur'-e-rahraw-e-shab sahi meri dastaras mein sahar bhi hai
