Teri Si Bhi Aafat Koi Ai Sozish-E-Tab Hai

teri si bhi aafat koi ai sozish-e-tab hai

ik aag hai so itni jalan aag men kab hai

maana ki tum ummid-e-vafa ke nahin qaa.il

phir kya mire jiine ka koi aur sabab hai

ḳhush huun tire kiine se ki shirkat se huun mahfuz

jitna tire dil men hai vo mere liye sab hai

hajat nahin kuchh aur pas-e-marg magar ek

ya.ani mujhe darkar tiri jumbish-e-lab hai

zinda rahun kyuun main ki zaban un se ho gustaḳh

marne men ḳhamoshi hai ḳhamoshi men adab hai

ho hijr to phir gor men aur ghar men hai kya farq

jo gor ki zulmat hai vahi hijr ki shab hai

iz.har-e-vafa hai to kis ummid pe ai ‘shauq’

tu dad-talab us se ki bedad-talab hai
