gham-e-dauran bhi nahin hai gham-e-janan bhi nahin
saḳht mushkil men hai ab dil ki gham-e-jan bhi nahin
mujh se naraz hain sab jan-o-jahan-o-janan
main ki dil se bhi juda shai huun pareshan bhi nahin
dil ne kuchh aur kahan aql ne kuchh aur kahi
sun ke donon ki na maani ki main nadan bhi nahin
had-e-imkan-e-tasavvur men sahi mera suragh
lekin ai dil mujhe ab DhunDhna asan bhi nahin
ek vo din ki tiri diid pe qurban thi nigah
ek ye din ki tire vasl ka arman bhi nahin
jaane kis ḳhitta-e-aflak se utra ‘arif’
jo ik insan ki surat bhi hai insan bhi nahin
