tumhaara zauq-e-parastish mujhe aziz magar
main is zamin ki mitti mujhe khuda na kaho

tumhaare sath agar do-qadam bhi chal na sakun
to khasta-pa hun mujhe mujrim-e-wafa na kaho

ye ek pal ki dhadakti hayat bhi hai bahut
tamam-umr ke is rog ko bura na kaho

is ek khauf se lab si liye tumhaare huzur
ki harf-e-shauq ko izhaar-e-muddaa na kaho

ye be-rukhi ka gila mujh se pahle khud se karo
use nigah ka yak-tarfa faisla na kaho

guzarte waqt ke marham se bhar na jae kahin
is ek zakhm ko chahat ki intiha na kaho

main ek zinda haqiqat hun ek pal hi sahi
tumhaara aks hun tum to mujhe fana na kaho
