zahir musafiron ka hunar ho nahin raha

aks-e-raushan tera aaina-e-jaan mein rakkha

aandhi mein bisat ulaT gai hai

us ka chehra bhi chamak mein na misali nikla

teri umidon ka sath degi inayat-e-barg-o-bar kab tak

aaine ka munh bhi hairat se khula rah jaega

wafa ki tashhir karne wala fareb-gar hai sitam to ye hai

teri talab ne falak pe sab ke safar ka anjam likh diya hai

kitni sadiyan na-rasi ki intiha mein kho gain

mohabbat ke siwa harf-o-bayan se kuchh nahin hota

zabte aur hi misdaq pe rakkhe hue hain

hum shad hon kya jab tak aazar salamat hai

diye se yun diya jalta rahega
