kabhi ahl-e-mohabbat yun na KHauf-e-jism-o-jaan karte

dard-e-musalsal se aahon mein paida wo tasir hui

bahaaron se KHizan tak yunhi sair-e-gulistan kar ke

ek bar apna zarf-e-nazar dekh lijiye

jab kabhi madd-e-muqabil wo ruKH-e-zeba hua

jahan na dil ko sukun hai na hai qarar mujhe

har-qadam marhala-e-sabr-o-raza ho jaise

kyun kahun koi qad-awar nahin aaya ab tak

main iztirab mein hun sham se sahar ke liye

hangama kyun bapa hai zara baam par se dekh

hon tumko mubarak lal-o-gohar hum le ke ye daulat kya karte

qalam ho jae sar parwa na karna

mai-KHane par kale baadal jab ghir ghir kar aate hain

har-su jahan mein sham o sahar DhunDte hain hum

jam to jam mai-e-hosh-ruba bhi badli
