waqt ne dil ki tabiat mein wafa rakkhi hai
dilbaron ke raaz ka mahram hua
barae-KHair shar se barsar-e-paikar ho jae
barson ashkon se wuzu ka silsila karte rahe
mehr-o-mah-o-anjum ka kuchh nishan nahin milta
narm shagufta chandni hansta hua kanwal kahun
use kaamyabi ki hajat nahin
na nazar ki dida-wari rahi na jigar ki be-jigari rahi
gar dil mein tabassum ka ek tir utar jae
mehrbani ko teri aariz-e-taban samjhe
har shai mein numayan hai jalwa aankhon se magar mastur bhi hai
har jagah bandish-e-adab ki parwa na karen
sach hai gham-e-firaq mein hum ro nahin sake
ruh-e-zaman makan mile raaz-e-ayan nihan mile
