jis jagah baiThe mera charcha kiya

naseh ne mera haal jo mujhse bayan kiya

hum bhi kya zindagi guzar gae

ayaadat ko meri aa kar wo ye takid karte hain

dekhna hashr mein jab tum pe machal jaunga

yun bhi hazaron lakhon mein tum intiKHab ho

nigah nikli na dil ki chor zulf-e-ambarin nikli

jis KHat pe ye lagai usi ka mila jawab

dagh ko kaun dene wala tha

dil le ke unki bazm mein jaya na jaega

ye to nahin ki tum sa jahan mein hasin nahin

sitam hi karna jafa hi karna nigah-e-ulfat kabhi na karna

KHatir se ya lihaz se main man to gaya

zist se tang ho ai dagh to jite kyun ho

kyun wasl ki shab hath lagane nahin dete
