wasl ki zid se uthen hijr ko roya na karen
besh-qimat hain ye lamhe inhen khoya na karen

naseha aur bata hum ko ki kya kya na karen
din mein soya na karen raat ko jaga na karen

manzil-e-zikr rukh-e-yar se aage kuchh ho
hum se to ho nahin sakta ise socha na karen

hum ko rahna hai isi qarya-e-kam-nazran mein
sakht mushkil hai yahan rah ke dikhawa na karen

jhut sau bar kaha jae to sach lagta hai
mashwara ye hai ki khud par bhi bharosa na karen

yar kahte hain ki ye taur-e-junun achchha nahin
us ki taswir ko aankhon se lagaya na karen

hum nahin kar sake logon ki nazar ko qabu
ladkiyon se kaho barish mein yun bhiga na karen

ab jidhar dekhiye ek mahshar-e-khubi hai bapa
aarzu kis ki karen kis ki tamanna na karen

kaif hain aap koi majnun-o-farhad nahin
pa-barahna nigah-e-khalq mein aaya na karen
