kitab-e-shauq mein in band bab aankhon ko

ashaar mein mafhum fasane mein kahani

apne honTon se aazma ke to dekh

aKHbar kya ki apni bhi KHair-o-KHabar se dur

ye man lene mein aisi bhi kya burai hai

baras ke bhi na mere kaam aa saki barish

yun tah-e-shabnam chaman rakhna bhi kya

han wo main hi hun ki jis ke hain yahan pursan bahut

shikwa-ha-e-gham-e-jahan se bachen

jis jagah jo KHush-nashin aaya nazar rahne diya

koi dua na koi chaaragar sambhaalega

zikr ta fikr nazar tak mahdud
