yaad kar wo din ki tera koi saudai na tha
bawajud-e-husn tu aagah-e-ranai na tha

ishq-e-roz-afzun pe apne mujh ko hairani na thi
jalwa-e-rangin pe tujh ko naz-e-yaktai na tha

did ke qabil thi mere ishq ki bhi sadgi
jabki tera husn sargarm-e-khud-arai na tha

kya hue wo din ki mahw-e-arzu the husn o ishq
rabt tha donon mein go rabt-e-shanasai na tha

tu ne 'hasrat' ki ayan tahzib-e-rasm-e-ashiqi
is se pahle e'tibar-e-shan-e-ruswai na tha
