muskura sakta nahin aansu baha sakta nahin

tumne bhule se kabhi ye nahin socha hoga

ye aarzu hain hum koi aarzu karte

be-qasd safar jate hain malum nahin kyun

kahin se bhi suKHan-e-moatabar nahin aata

ahl-e-jahan ke sath wafa ya jafa karun

kai payam bara-e-sukun-e-jaan to mile

umr-bhar KHwab-e-mohabbat se na bedar hue

nahin ye baat ki parwaz ka irada nahin

teri jafa hui ki jahan ka ghazab hua

koi payam-e-musalsal hai shor-e-dariya bhi

KHub andaz-e-pazirai hai

zamir-o-zehan se ki hain baghawaten kya kya

itni mushkil mein bhi ahbab na Dalen mujhko

kisi guman kisi imkan ka ruKH nahin karti
