yun na barbaad ho khuda koi
haal-e-dil sun ke ro diya koi

aankh se kyon tapak pada aansu
dil ka tuta hai aabla koi

dard-e-dil hai bahut hi jaan-gusil
dard-e-dil ki nahin dawa koi

koi tadbir ban nahin pati
kaam karti nahin dua koi

us ki khafagi ki jab khabar aai
jaan se ho gaya khafa koi

rasm duniya ki ye purani hai
bewafa hai to ba-wafa koi

ishq ke marhale kathin hain bahut
ho saka tai na marhala koi

rah-e-ulfat bahut hai pechida
ibtida hai na intiha koi

main mohabbat mein jaan de dunga
mujh pe karta rahe jafa koi

khanjar-e-chashm pe hai naz use
khun-e-dil mein naha gaya koi

airon ghairon pe hai nigah-e-karam
hai na 'arshad' se wasta koi
