abhī se mat kaho dil kā ḳhalal jaave to behtar hai
ye rāh-e-ishq hai yahāñ dam nikal jaave to behtar hai
lahū āñkhoñ se badle ashk ke to ho gayā jaarī
rahī hai jaan baaqī ye bhī gal jaave to behtar hai
shikasta dil kā to ahvāl pahuñche ai 'surūr' us tak
ye shīsha tāq-e-ulfat se phisal jaave to behtar hai
