meri qismat mein gham gar itna tha

kyun jal gaya na tab-e-ruKH-e-yar dekh kar

kaam us se aa paDa hai ki jis ka jahan mein

kya KHub tumne ghair ko bosa nahin diya

gham-e-hasti ka asad kis se ho juz marg ilaj

marte hain aarzu mein marne ki

be-ishq umr kaT nahin sakti hai aur yan

bisat-e-ijz mein tha ek dil yak qatra KHun wo bhi

jab tak ki na dekha tha qad-e-yar ka aalam

aashiqi sabr-talab aur tamanna betab

tum jaano tumko ghair se jo rasm-o-rah ho

kaba kis munh se jaoge ghaalib

maine junun se ki jo asad iltimas-e-rang

hum wahan hain jahan se hum ko bhi

hai mushtamil numud-e-suwar par wajud-e-bahar
