شوق دیدار پردہ کر نہ ہوا

Shauq-e-deedaar parda-kar na hua

Mutmaeen jazba-e-nazar na hua

Jo na hona tha, umar bhar na hua

Nakhl-e-umeed barwar na hua

Ahl-e-dil ki wafa-shuaari ka

Us jafa jo yeh kuch asar na hua

Hum huay laakh sab se begane

Woh na apna hua magar, na hua

Manzil-e-ishq thi kathin aisi

Koi bhi mera hum-safar na hua

Jis taraf intizaar mein hum thay

Us taraf aap ka guzar na hua

Khana-e-dil tha ghair se khaali

Phir bhi woh shokh jalwa-gar na hua

Haaye afsos meri chaahat ka

Un ko ehsaas umar bhar na hua

Khaak-e-parwana ho gayi barbaad

Koi pursaan darm-e-sahar na hua

Mere haalaat se Naseer ab tak

Ba-khabar, koi be-khabar na hua
