yarab dil-o-nazar pe musallat kabhi na ho
wo be-khudi ki jis mein shuur-e-khudi na ho

itna na dur jao had-e-ikhtilaf se
mumkin hai phir wahan se kabhi wapsi na ho

dil mein khulus ho to ho ek mustaqil khulus
wo kya khulus hai jo kabhi ho kabhi na ho

tark-e-talluqat ki ek shart ye bhi thi
dil tut jae aur koi aawaz bhi na ho

ji chahta hai phulon se kuchh guftugu karun
phir sochta hun baad-e-saba dekhti na ho

'gauhar' dil-o-nigah mein ek fasl to rahe
lekin dil-o-nazar ka tasadum kabhi na ho
