un ko jo shughl-e-naz se fursat na ho saki
hum ne ye kah diya ki mohabbat na ho saki

shukr-e-jafa bhi ahl-e-raza ne kiya ada
un se yahi nahin ki shikayat na ho saki

shab ka ye haal hai ki teri yaad ke siwa
dil ko kisi khayal se rahat na ho saki

pa-bos ki bhi hum ko ijazat na de sake
itni bhi tum se qadr-e-mohabbat na ho saki

gharq-e-surur-o-sur mujhe pa ke dafatan
naseh se tark-e-mai ki nasihat na ho saki

khamoshiyon ka raaz-e-mohabbat wo pa gae
go hum se arz-e-haal ki jurat na ho saki

kar di zaban-e-shauq ne sab sharh-e-arzu
alfaz mein agarche sarahat na ho saki

lutf-e-mazid ki main tamanna to kar saka
tum ye to kah sake ki qanaat na ho saki

kyun itni jald ho gae ghabra ke hum fana
ai dard-e-yar kuchh teri khidmat na ho saki

waiz ko apne aib-e-riya ka raha khayal
rindon ki saf saf mazammat na ho saki

arbab-e-qal haal pe ghaalib na aa sake
zahid se aashiqon ki imamat na ho saki

aisa bhi kya itab ki saqi bachi-kuchhi
aakhir mein kuchh bhi hum ko inayat na ho saki

un se main apne dil ka taqaza na kar saka
ye baat thi khilaf-e-murawwat na ho saki

kyun aae hosh mein jo ibaadat na kar sake
pir-e-mughan ki hum se itaat na ho saki

'hasrat' teri nigah-e-mohabbat ko kya kahun
mahfil mein raat un se shararat na ho saki
