kisi dard-mand ki hun sada kisi dil-jale ki pukar hun

saaton ki nahin baat lamhon ki hai jism se ruh parwaz kar jaegi

qalaq aa gaya iztirab aa gaya

din judai ka diya wasl ki shab ke badle

kab faraghat thi gham-e-subh-o-masa se mujhko

mohabbat bhi hua karti hai dil bhi dil se milta hai

kaun kahta hai ki mar jaane se kuchh hasil nahin

dayar-e-husn mein pabandi-e-rasm-e-wafa kam hai

wo kahte hain yaqin lana paDega

kuchh na kuchh hoga meri mushkil ka hal furqat ki raat

jawani mein tabiat la-ubaali hoti jati hai

go qayamat se peshtar na hui

barson se hun main zamzama-pardaz-e-mohabbat

sabr mushkil tha mohabbat ka asar hone tak

puchhen wo kash haal dil-e-be-qarar ka
