rokta hai gham-e-izhaar se pindar mujhe

logon ki malamat bhi hai KHud dard-sari bhi

is qadar ab gham-e-dauran ki farawani hai

kisi aur gham mein itni KHalish-e-nihan nahin hai

fankar KHud na thi mere fan ki sharik thi

dard-e-dil bhi gham-e-dauran ke barabar se uTha

gham-e-dauran ne bhi sikhe gham-e-jaanan ke chalan

aandhi chali to naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa nahin mila

kabhi jhiDki se kabhi pyar se samjhate rahe

hui ijad nai tarz-e-KHushamad ki nahin

kaf-e-momin se na darwaza-e-dauran se mila

chale to kaT hi jaega safar aahista aahista

zaban-e-ghair se kya sharh-e-arzu karte

sahar jitegi ya sham-e-ghariban dekhte rahna

tere chehre ki tarah aur mere sine ki tarah
