naumid kare dil ko na manzil ka pata de
rishta jigar ka KHun-e-jigar se nahin raha
chamakte chand se chehron ke manzar se nikal aae
kaisa makan saya-e-diwar bhi nahin
sahab dilon se rah mein aankhen mila ke dekh
nibhegi kis tarah dil sochta hai
gir bhi jaen to na mismar samajhiye hum ko
har samt lahu-rang ghaTa chhai si kyun hai
qadam qadam pe hain bikhri haqiqaten kya kya
aatish-fishan zaban hi nahin thi badan bhi tha
main ujDa shahr tha tapta tha dasht ke manind
chehre makan rah ke patthar badal gae
aaKHir charagh-e-dard-e-mohabbat bujha diya
mauj-e-KHun sar se guzar jati hai har raat mere
