ulfat-e-shirin ko bhaari sil samajh
sahl ko ai kohkan mushkil samajh

gard-baad-e-dasht ai majnun na ho
til ko laila chashm ko mahmil samajh

jaan nabz-e-rah dasht-e-nisti
tegh-e-abru ka mujhe bismil samajh

dil ko baitullah kahta hai jahan
is ko ai but manzilat manzil samajh

hai jo shab-bedar teri yaad mein
us faramush-kar ko ghafil samajh

khun-e-dil hai surkh-rui ka nishan
mujh ko bismil apna ai qatil samajh

wo nigah-e-garm hai barq ai 'waqar'
khirman-e-hasti ko be-hasil samajh
