ashk-bari nahin furqat mein sharar-bari hai

us ka wada ta-qayamat kam se kam

ghaaliban mere alawa koi guzra bhi nahin

jo hamare safar ka qissa hai

tumne rasm-e-jafa uTha di hai

yagana ban ke ho jae wo begana to kya hoga

hai jo darwesh wo sultan hai ye malum hua

sona tha jitna ahd-e-jawani mein so liye

ajal hoti rahegi ishq kar ke multawi kab tak

chala-chal mohlat-e-aram kya hai

tujhse daman-kashan nahin hun main

usko bhi humse mohabbat ho zaruri to nahin

uljhanon mein kaise itminan-e-dil paida karen

aaina ban jaiye jalwa-asar ho jaiye

jo dekhiye to karam ishq par zara bhi nahin
