aah ko chahiye ek umr asar hote tak

dil-e-nadan tujhe hua kya hai

hazaron KHwahishen aisi ki har KHwahish pe dam nikle

koi ummid bar nahin aati

ye na thi hamari qismat ki visal-e-yar hota

har ek baat pe kahte ho tum ki tu kya hai

dil hi to hai na sang-o-KHisht dard se bhar na aae kyun

bazicha-e-atfal hai duniya mere aage

na tha kuchh to KHuda tha kuchh na hota to KHuda hota

bas-ki dushwar hai har kaam ka aasan hona

rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahan koi na ho

husn-e-mah garche ba-hangam-e-kamal achchha hai

ishq mujhko nahin wahshat hi sahi

dard minnat-kash-e-dawa na hua

ibn-e-mariyam hua kare koi

aaina kyun na dun ki tamasha kahen jise

nukta-chin hai gham-e-dil usko sunae na bane

aa ki meri jaan ko qarar nahin hai

muddat hui hai yar ko mehman kiye hue

ishrat-e-qatra hai dariya mein fana ho jaana

daim paDa hua tere dar par nahin hun main

ghair len mahfil mein bose jam ke

mehrban ho ke bula lo mujhe chaho jis waqt

arz-e-niyaz-e-ishq ke qabil nahin raha

phir kuchh ek dil ko be-qarari hai

sab kahan kuchh lala-o-gul mein numayan ho gain

rone se aur ishq mein bebak ho gae

naqsh fariyaadi hai kis ki shoKHi-e-tahrir ka

hai bas-ki har ek un ke ishaare mein nishan aur

aaina dekh apna sa munh le ke rah gae

dil se teri nigah jigar tak utar gai

kisi ko de ke dil koi nawa-sanj-e-fughan kyun ho

milti hai KHu-e-yar se nar iltihab mein

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aaya

diwangi se dosh pe zunnar bhi nahin

ye hum jo hijr mein diwar-o-dar ko dekhte hain

dost gham-KHwari mein meri sai farmawenge kya

dard se mere hai tujhko be-qarari hae hae

wo aa ke KHwab mein taskin-e-iztirab to de

jaur se baz aae par baz aaen kya

jahan tera naqsh-e-qadam dekhte hain

zikr us pari-wash ka aur phir bayan apna

kahte ho na denge hum dil agar paDa paya

koi din gar zindagani aur hai

main unhen chheDun aur kuchh na kahen

taskin ko hum na roen jo zauq-e-nazar mile

zulmat-kade mein mere shab-e-gham ka josh hai

hui taKHir to kuchh bais-e-taKHir bhi tha

wo firaq aur wo visal kahan

aabru kya KHak us gul ki ki gulshan mein nahin
