wufur-e-shauq mein aah-o-fughan ko bhul gae
tum aa gae to gham-e-do-jahan ko bhul gae

asir-e-gham hain qafas mein guzar lete hain
chaman ko bhul gae aashiyan ko bhul gae

hayat-e-chand-nafas mein kashakash-e-paiham
rahi hai utni ki dard-e-nihan ko bhul gae

daraaz-dasti-e-aghyar ka gila kya hai
adu ko bhul gae mehrban ko bhul gae

rah-e-hayat ki manzil ajib pechida
kahan ki rah khud hum karwan ko bhul gae

sunaen ishq ki rudad kya tumhein ai 'barq'
hai mukhtasar si magar dastan ko bhul gae
