waqif-e-raaz-e-bahr-e-gham dil hai
mauj-e-tufan ka nam sahil hai

soz-e-paiham pe mutmain dil hai
kaif-e-gham zindagi ka hasil hai

allah allah ye ishq ka inam
dard ki tis ishrat-e-dil hai

un ke jalwe mein kho gaya hun main
mujh ko mearaj-e-ishq hasil hai

wo hain be-parda samne lekin
parda-e-shauq-e-did hail hai

bahr-e-nakaami-e-mohabbat mein
ubhre jo dub kar wahi dil hai

tab-e-nazzara chahiye 'mahir'
zarre zarre mein husn-e-kaamil hai
