kab tak shakil dil ko dua kijiyega aap

sar bhi hai pa-e-yar bhi shauq-e-siwa ko kya hua

nasib dar pe tere aazmane aaya hun

bas ek nigah-e-karam hai kafi agar unhen pesh-o-pas nahin hai

na paimane khanakte hain na daur-e-jam chalta hai

aadab-e-ashiqi se begana kah rahi hai

ruh ko taDpa rahi hai unki yaad

ishq ki chingariyon ko phir hawa dene lage

tauf-e-haram na der ki gahraiyon mein hai

koi aarzu nahin hai koi muddaa nahin hai

paiham talash-e-dost main karta chala gaya

un ke baghair hum jo gulistan mein aa gae

bahaar aai kisi ka samna karne ka waqt aaya

shayad aaghaz hua phir kisi afsane ka

wo yun kho ke mujhe paya karenge
