yar ke nargis-e-bimar ka bimar raha
yahi aazar mere darpai-e-azar raha

umr-bhar shefta-e-chashm-o-lab-e-yar raha
kabhi surat rahi mujh ko kabhi bimar raha

dil ko mere na zara ranj shab-e-tar raha
sham-e-afroz khayal-e-rukh-e-kaddar raha

lab pe dil-sokhton ke nala sharar-bar raha
sard-mehri ka tere garm ye bazar raha

main fida rukh pe wo zulfon ka giraftar raha
dil ko tujh se na mujhe dil se sarokar raha

khud-faroshi sar-e-bazar jo lai un ko
misr mein ek na yusuf ka kharidar raha

mere marne se phansa dam-e-gham-o-ranj mein wo
main riha ho gaya sayyaad giraftar raha

but-parasti mein bhi bhuli na mujhe yaad-e-khuda
hath mein subha gale mein mere zunnar raha

lakh asiron ko kiya tum ne riha zindan se
ek mahrum-e-inayat ye gunahgar raha

teri ai wahshat-e-dil dast-daraazi na gai
baad-e-murdan bhi kafan mein na koi tar raha

rauzan-e-qabr se jhanke jo wo isa aaya
mar gae par bhi hamein did ka aazar raha

chum lin nashshe mein aaj un ki nashili aankhen
ain be-hoshi-e-lazzat mein bhi hoshiyar raha

rukh se apne jo naqab us ne uthaya to kya
parda-e-sharm-o-haya mane-e-didar raha

dasht-e-wahshat mein rahe qais se lakhon hamrah
sare diwanon ka main qafila-salar raha

be-khata kaun dil-azar khafa tha tum se
umr-bhar tu jo 'qalaq' zist se bezar raha
