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
