taskin-e-dil-e-mahzun na hui wo sai-e-karam farma bhi gae
is sai-e-karam ko kya kahiye bahla bhi gae tadpa bhi gae

hum arz-e-wafa bhi kar na sake kuchh kah na sake kuchh sun na sake

kya jazb-e-ishq mujh se ziyaada tha ghair mein
us ka habib us se juda kyun nahin hua

mera ishq to khair meri mahrumi ka parwarda tha

main ye chahta hun ki umr-bhar rahe tishnagi mere ishq mein
koi justuju rahe darmiyan tere sath bhi tere baad bhi

mujh ko marne na diya sher utare mujh par
ishq ne bas ye mere sath riayat ki thi
