mujh ko tashwish hai kuchh roz se mere mahbub
mere andaz-e-tafakkur ki ye pur-khar rawish

teri hassas tabiat ko na kar de majruh
aur tu samjhe ki nahin tujh mein wo pahli si kashish

ab bhi jalwon mein hai takhliq-e-mohabbat ki sakat
teri baaton mein abhi tak hai fusun ka andaz

aariz o lab pe tabassum ka khiram-e-madhosh
ab bhi deta hai takhayyul ko payam-e-parwaz

phir bhi ehsas-e-masarrat ka na ho zehn ko hosh
gin to sakta hun, shab-e-hijr mein taron ko magar

zehn aawara khayalat se bhar jata hai
ashk-e-majbur bahaun gham-e-jaanan mein magar

silsila mere in ashkon ka bikhar jata hai
mujh ko tashwish hai kuchh roz se mere mahbub

mere andaz-e-takallum ki ye begana-rawi
teri hassas tabiat ko na kar de majruh

aur taskin na ho phir husn-e-khud-ara ko kabhi
