agar KHu-e-tahammul ho to koi gham nahin hota

ham-safar tham to sahi dil ko sambhaalun to chalun

qadam yun be-KHatar ho kar na mai-KHane mein rakh dena

harim-e-naz ko hum ghair ki mahfil nahin kahte

zarra harif-e-mehr daraKHshan hai aaj kal

bayan ai ham-nashin gham ki hikayat aur ho jati

nahin malum kitne ho chuke hain imtihan ab tak

izzat unhen mili wahi aaKHir baDe rahe

wo jin ki lau se hazaron charagh jalte the

bujhte hue charagh farozan karenge hum

khulne hi lage un par asrar-e-shabab aaKHir

kisi ke ishq ka ye mustaqil aazar kya kahna

kahte hain sar-e-rah munasib nahin milna

wo jalwa tur par jo dikhaya na ja saka

kabhi dard-ashna tera bhi qalb shadman hoga
