sare aalam se mere gham ka hai afsana juda
raha karte hain mai-KHanon mein hum pir-e-mughan ho kar
hijr mein nashad duniya se dil-e-muztar gaya
mani-taraaz-e-ishq har ek baada-KHwar tha
intizar-e-hashr kar sakte nahin nakaam-e-ishq

KHugar-e-lazzat hun main kis shoKH ki tazir ka
pas-e-tauba hadis-e-mutrib-o-paimana kahte hain
kuchh KHushi se hamin ishq-e-sitam-ijad nahin
wo taghaful ko ilaj-e-gham-e-pinhan samjha
usne mai pi ke sar-e-bazm jo saghar ulTa
