teray tabsray hain bekhabar meri dastan-e-hayaat say
tu keh raha hai dil jisay meri khawahishoo’n ka mizaar hai
tera shukria aye tabbeb-e-jaan, ye khaloos apni jaga magar
teri masehaye bhi kya karay mera dard hi beshumar hai
meray rastoo’n jo agya meray kafiloo’n ko jo kha gya
woh toofa’n to kub ka guzar gya magar dil mai ab tak gubaar hai
aye mehrbaa’n dost sun meri mushkiloo’n ko samjh kay mai
teri mohabatoo’n ka kya karo kisay dil pay ab ikhtyaar hai!
naye mousamoo’n ko bulaoo mut kay mujhay khushbu’aon ki talab nahi
meri rah rehnay dou khar khaar kay meray liye to yehi bahar hai
jo nafratoo’n say julas gya usay dil say saray dua’ain dou
par us sitam zada ka kya karay jo muhabatoo’n ka shikaar hai!
