Sukoon dil ko kabhi meherban nahin hota,
Tumahre jaisa ager razdan nahin hota.
Hamare dum se hain gulshan main ronke kaayem,
na hote hum to kabhi gulistan nahin hota.
Hamare zabbte tehmmul ki daad de zalim,
Yun zakhem khaa ke koi shaadma nahin hota.
Nazer se hoti hai waakif Nazer mohabbat ki,
Zuban se derde mohabbat bayan nahin hota.
Wo poonchte hain kahan hai derd batao,
Batain kya unhe hum, derd kahan nahin hota.
