jo tiri nazar men pinhan na ye e’tibar hota
miri jaan ghubar hoti mira dil mazar hota
kahin ham bhi dhund lete koi afiyat ka unvan
ye jo be-qarar dil hai ise gar qarar hota
koi ramz-did hota ki bana-e-sukun ho
miri aarzu bahalti agar intizar hota
ye shaban-e-hijr kattin ye dil-e-hazin bahalta
jo sahar ke aaine men kahin ru-e-yar hota
kabhi shakh-e-gul lachak kar khabar-e-bahar deti
kahin surmai faza men koi naghma-bar hota
na jo dil ke asman par koi barq si lapakti
gham-e-marg-e-arzu hi mira gham-gusar hota
tiri be-rukhi pe khulta kabhi dard-e-dil ka mazmun
na ye harf-e-mukhtasar gar tire dil pe baar hota
