tumhaara qurb wajh-e-iztirab-e-dil na ban jae
ye mushkil sahl ho kar phir kahin mushkil na ban jae

are o tishna-lab ye pyas ye andaz pine ka
samundar ghatte ghatte dur tak sahil na ban jae

ye mashkuk aadmi lute hain jis ne karwan barson
dua mangun kahin ye rahbar-e-manzil na ban jae

chala to hun tera bakhsha hua zauq-e-talab le kar
khayal is ka rahe ye sai-e-la-hasil na ban jae

jise meri mohabbat ne sarapa lutf samjha hai
kisi rukh se wahi insan mera qatil na ban jae

nazar apni rahe us waqt tak mamnun-e-nazzara
dil-e-jalwa-talab jab tak mah-e-kaamil na ban jae

kisi ko 'ramz' mazlumi ke is ehsas ne mara
wo apnon ki nazar mein rahm ke qabil na ban jae
