dil bahaltaa hai kahaaN anjum-o-maahtaab se bhii
ab to ham log gaye deedaa-e-bekhwaab se bhii
ro paRaa huN to ko’ii baat hii aisii hogii
maiN ke waaqif thaa tere hijr ke aadaab se bhii
kuch to us aaNkh kaa shaivaa hai jafaa ho jaanaa
aur kuch bhuul huii hai dil-e-betaab se bhii
ai samandar kii havaa ! teraa karam bhii maaluum
pyaas saahil kii to bujhtii nahiiN sailaab se bhii
kuch to us husn ko jaane hai zamanaa saara
aur kuch baat chalii hai mere ehbaab se bhii
ranjish hii sahii dil hii dukhaane ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhoR ke jaane ke liye aa
pahle se maraasim na sahii phir bhii kabhii tau
rasm-o-rahe duniyaa hii niibhaane ke liye aa
kis kis ko bataayeNge judaa’ii kaa sabab ham
tuu mujh se Khafaa hai to zamaane ke liye aa
kuchh to mere pindaar-e-muhabbat ka bharam rakh
tuu bhii to kabhii mujh ko manaane ke liye aa
ek umr se huuN lazzat-e-giriyaa se bhii mahruum
ai raahat-e-jaaN mujh ko rulaane ke liye aa
ab tak dil-e-Khush-feh’m ko tujh se haiN ummiideN
ye aaKhrii shammeN bhii bujhaane ke liye aa
