khalwat-e-gham ke darichon pe ye dastak kaisi
ai meri fakhr-e-wafa rashk-e-chaman jaan-e-haya

daman-e-chashm mein hai nama-e-ulfat jab se
dil ka har soya hua zakhm mera jag utha

jaan-sipari ki ada mujh ko sikhane wale
aaj ye hukm ki main pyar ka charcha na karun

ghat ke rah jaun pa rukhsar teri yaadon ke
apni takhayyul ki aankhon se bhi chuma na karun

bhul jaun tere honton ke chhalakte saghar
teri aankhon ki mai-e-tab se tauba kar lun

nur peshani ka honton se churana kaisa
abruon ki jhuki mehrab mein aaya na karun

khwahish-e-saya-e-gesu-e-pareshan hi nahin
jannat-e-ariz-o-lab ki bhi tamanna na karun

apni tanhai ke sunsan dar-o-baam kabhi
main tere husn-e-tasawwur se sajaya na karun

talkhiyan zist ki har taur chhupaun sab se
khushbuen yaad ki sanson mein basaya na karun

khwah tadpe ki dhadakne ki ada tak bhule
dhadkanen dil ki magar tum ko sunaya na karun

bhul jaun main wafadari-e-arbab-e-wafa
khud ko patthar ka tarasha hua insan samjhun

jis ko ehsas ki jazbaat ki daulat na mile
khud ko aisi hi kisi jins ka haiwan samjhun

tu agar khush hai isi mein to koi baat nahin
jazba-e-shauq ko jaise bhi ho samjhaunga

teri chahat teri ulfat ko bhulane ke liye
ho sakega to main ab jaan se guzar jaunga

bhul jaunga ki tum ne kabhi chaha tha mujhe
bhul jaunga ki tum mujh pe fida rahte the

tum tadap uthte the halki si udasi pe meri
mehrban mujh pe sada ban ke khuda rahte the

tut kar chahna sikha hai teri aankhon se
bhul jaane ki adaen bhi sikha de mujh ko

main mohabbat ka pujari hun wafa ka shaida
be-wafa kaise banun ye to bata de mujh ko

mere masum se qatil tera bismil aakhir
chhod de kucha-e-qatil to kahan jaega

jis jagah hongi tere husn ki shamen raushan
tera parwana wahin aaega jal jaega

be-wafa kaise banun
