KhuddariyoN ke Khuun ko arzaaN na kar sake
ham apne jauharoN ko numaayaaN na kar sake

hokar Kharaab-e-mai tire gham to bhulaa diye
lekin gham-e-hayaat ka darmaaN na kar sake

TuuTaa talism-e-ahd-e-muhabbat kuchh is taraH
phir aarzoo ki shamaa’ farozaaN na kar sake

har shai qareeb aa ke kashish apnii kho gayii
vo bhii ‘ilaaj-e-shauq-e-gurezaaN na kar sake

kis darjah dil shikan the muhabbat ke haadse
ham zindagii meiN phir koii armaaN na kar sake

maayuusiyoN ne chhiin liye dil ke valvale
vo bhii nashaat-rooH kaa saamaaN na kar sake
