zanjir se junun ki khalish kam na ho saki
bhadki agar ye aanch to maddham na ho saki
badle bahar-e-lala-o-gul ne hazar rang
lekin jamal-e-dost ka aalam na ho saki
kya kya ghubar uthae nazar ke fasad ne
insaniyat ki lau kabhi maddham na ho saki
ham laakh bad-maza hue jam-e-hayat se
jiine ki pyaas thi ki kabhi kam na ho saki
jo jhuk gai jabin tire naqsh-e-qadam ki samt
ta-zist phir vo aur kahin kham na ho saki
mujh se na puchh apni hi tegh-e-ada se puchh
kyuun teri chashm-e-lutf bhi marham na ho saki
kitne rumuz-e-shauq in ankhon men rah gae
jin se nigah-e-dost bhi mahram na ho saki
mauj-e-nasim apni baharen luta gai
lekin khizan ki muda-dili kam na ho saki
allah-re ishtiyaq nigah-e-umid ka
khoe ho.uun ki yaad men pur-nam na ho saki
gul-kari-e-nazar ho ki rang-e-jamal-e-dost
kuchh baat thi ki ziist jahannam na ho saki
in ki jabin pe khair se ik rang aa gaya
meri vafa agarche musallam na ho saki
apne hi ghar ki khair manai tamam umr
ham se ‘surur’ fikr-e-do-alam na ho saki
