tuu dost kisii kaa bhii sitamgar na huaa thaa
auron pe hai vo zulm ki mujh par na huaa thaa
chhoDaa mah-e-naKhshab kii tarah dast-e-qazaa ne
Khurshiid hanoz us ke baraabar na hu_aa thaa
taufiiq ba andaaz-e-himmat hai azal se
aaNkhon men hai vo qataraa ki gauhar na huaa thaa
jab tak kii na dekhaa thaa qad-e-yaar kaa aalam
main motaqid-e-fitanaa-e-mahashar na huaa thaa
main saadaa dil aazurdagi-e-yaar se Khush huuN
yaanii sabaq-e-shauq mukarrar na huaa thaa
dariyaa-e-ma_aasii tunuk abhii se huaa Khushk
meraa sar-e-daaman bhii abhii tar na huaa thaa
jaarii thii asad daaG-e-jigar se mere tahasiil
aatash qadaa jaagiir-e-samandar na huaa thaa
