husn ki maslahaton ka hai taqaza dil se
ki nikal jae gham-e-ishq ka sauda dil se

ho magar jis ki rag-o-pai mein mohabbat sari
jis ke ehsas pe ho nashsha-e-ulfat tari

kis tarah dard-e-mohabbat se kinara kar le
jism aur ruh ki furqat ko gawara kar le

aah lekin ye kasauti hai wafadari ki
aazmaish hai yahi ishq-o-hawas-kari ki

dekh ai dost mere jazba-e-ulfat ko dekh
meri be-laus wafa pak mohabbat ko dekh

tujh se bhi tere liye qata nazar karta hun
tark ulfat ko na karna tha magar karta hun

dida-e-shauq na hoga teri jaanib nigaran
ab na aaegi labon tak mere fariyaad-o-fughan

chashm-e-tar mein ab na ashkon ki nami aaegi
dil ki betabi-e-wahshat mein kami aaegi

kya magar ishq ki fitrat bhi badal jaegi
aah kya yaad teri dil se nikal jaegi
