na-umid ahl-e-KHarabaat nahin rahmat se

hua yaqin ki zamin par hai aaj chand-gahan

shukr ko shikwa-e-jafa samjhe

khincha hai aks qalb ki photograph mein

har dam dam-e-aKHir hai ajal sar pe khaDi hai

kho gaya ku-e-dilruba mein nizam

hathon mein nazuki se sambhalti nahin jo tegh

na puchho ham-safaro mujhse majra-e-watan

ashk-e-hasrat dida-e-dil se hain jari in dinon

duniya mein koi ishq se bad-tar nahin hai chiz

harjaiyon ke ishq ne kya kya kiya zalil

kahna qasid ki uske jine ka

jis ko sab kahte hain samundar hai

ye raqibon ki hai suKHan-sazi

jo chiz hai jahan mein wo be-misal hai
