ye dard rahe dil mein ye zakhm-e-wafa rakhna
allah mohabbat ki kheti ko hara rakhna

dastak bhi na de koi aur ghar mein chala aae
is tarah na tum dil ka darwaza khula rakhna

uljhegi to phir gutthi suljhae na suljhegi
jo bahs chhide us ka qabze mein sira rakhna

kartin bhi hawaen kya fitrat ke munafi tha
raushan kisi muflis ki kutiya mein diya rakhna

main zist ke khake mein bhar dunga lahu se rang
tum phul se hathon par tahrir-e-hina rakhna

jis ne saf-e-baatil ki aankhen na chamakne din
surme ki jagah us ki khak-e-kaf-e-pa rakhna

'masud' ke honton par shikwa na tera aae
jis haal mein bhi rakhna raazi-ba-raza rakhna
