ashk-bari nahin furqat mein sharar-bari hai

us ka wada ta-qayamat kam se kam

ghaaliban mere alawa koi guzra bhi nahin

jo hamare safar ka qissa hai

tumne rasm-e-jafa uTha di hai

usko bhi humse mohabbat ho zaruri to nahin

yagana ban ke ho jae wo begana to kya hoga

hai jo darwesh wo sultan hai ye malum hua

sona tha jitna ahd-e-jawani mein so liye

ajal hoti rahegi ishq kar ke multawi kab tak

tujhse daman-kashan nahin hun main

chala-chal mohlat-e-aram kya hai

uljhanon mein kaise itminan-e-dil paida karen

jo dekhiye to karam ishq par zara bhi nahin

aaina ban jaiye jalwa-asar ho jaiye
