tujh ko ai mehr-e-jahan-tab khabar hai ki nahin
zist ki shab meri muhtaj-e-sahar hai ki nahin

kis liye khauf tujhe hai meri hamrahi mein
rahbari mein meri mahfuz khizar hai ki nahin

tu hi tanha nahin badnam-e-zamana ai dost
bewafa teri tarah nau-e-bashar hai ki nahin

kyon karun khud pe main pabandi-e-manzil aaed
dasht phaila hua ta-hadd-e-nazar hai ki nahin

aankh to tu ne nidar ho ke mila li thi magar
tab se sharmai hui teri nazar hai ki nahin

aql hairan hai aqdar ki tabdili par
kal jo tha aib wahi aaj hunar hai ki nahin

kyon wo hamsaegi-e-arsh pe nazan na rahe
rifat-e-dar pe 'mansur' ka ghar hai ki nahin
