tere gam ko jan ki talash thi tere jan-nisar chale gaye
teri rah main karte the sar talab sar-e-rah-guzar chale gaye
teri kaj-adai se har k shab-e-intazar chali gai
mere zabt-e-hal se ruth kar mere gam-gusar chale gaye
na sawal-e-wasl na arz-e-gam na hikayaten na shikayaten
tere ahad main dil-e-zar k sabhi ikhtiyar chale gaye
ye hamin the jin k libas par sr-e-rah siyahi likhi gai
yahi dag the jo saja k ham sar-e-bazm-eyar chale gaye
na raha junun-e-rukh-e-wafa ye rasan ye dar karoge kya
jinhen jurm-e-ishq pe naz tha wo gunahagar chale gaye
