but-gar hai na koi but-shikan hai

chala hai le ke mujhe zauq-e-justuju mera

husn-e-asnam ba-har-lamha fuzun hai ki nahin

sukun hai hamnawa-e-iztirab aahista aahista

zindagi jab se shanasa-e-muhaallat hui

farogh-e-gul se alag barq-e-ashiyan se alag

iltifat-ashna hijab tera

lagi hai bhiD baDa mai-kade ka nam bhi hai

us se baDh kar to koi be-sar-o-saman na mila

KHalwati-e-KHayal ko hosh mein koi lae kyun

ishq dushwar nahin KHush-nazari mushkil hai

lagi hai bhiD baDa mai-kade ka nam bhi hai

rabt-e-pinhan ki sadaqat hai na milna tera

zahr-e-chashm-e-saqi mein kuchh ajib masti hai

pasheman hain tark-e-mohabbat ke baad
