dard ka samundar hai sirf paar hone tak
ishq ki haqiqat ke ashkar hone tak
roz-o-shab ki gardish men mahv-e-raqs rahte hain
khaak ke bagule hain bas ghubar hone tak
khvahishon ki khushbu men khvab khvab phirte the
palki men taron ki ham savar hone tak
qurbaton ke jangal men der kitni lagti hai
pairahan mohabbat ka taar taar hone tak
soch ki haveli men ik sukut taari tha
muntazir nigahon ke be-qarar hone tak
atish-e-gham-e-dil men khaak ho gae ham to
rishta-e-mohabbat ke ustuvar hone tak
zindagi ke lahje ko ek umr lagti hai
dhuup ki tamazat se saya-dar hone tak
ajnabi musafir the ham-safar rahe phir bhi
ik gurez haail tha e’tibar hone tak
paniyon ke siine par aaj bhi safine hain
sar-phiri havaon ke sazgar hone tak
kitni maujen duben-gi sahilon ke daman men
qurbaton ki koshish men raz-dar hone tak
tha kamal-e-kuza-gar dhalta raha mujh ko
haan ‘farah’ lage barson shah-kar hone tak
