wafa khulus mohabbat ki raushni ke charagh
hamesha main ne jalae hain dosti ke charagh

ye mat samajhna ke aasan kaam hota hai
jigar ke khun se jalte hain zindagi ke charagh

dilon se himmat-e-mardan nikal dete hain
ajib qism ke hote hain buzdili ke charagh

hui jo ishq ki mearaj ho gaya malum
utha ke mushkilen jalte hain aashiqi ke charagh

sukhan-sarai mein hoti nahin mujhe diqqat
mere dimagh mein jalte hain shaeri ke charagh

koi kisi ki madad ke liye nahin aata
jalane padte hain az-khud hi zindagi ke charagh

main ek arse se ranj-o-alam ki qaid mein hun
khudaya kar de ata mujh ko ab khushi ke charagh

nahin hai khwahish-e-jannat mujhe mere maula
meri lahad mein jala dena bas ali ke charagh

khuda se hoti hai qurbat isi liye 'afzal'
hawa ki tezi se darte nahin wali ke charagh
