عرض نیاز عشق کے قابل نہیں رہا

Arz-e-niyaz ishq ke qabil nahin raha

Jis dil pe naaz tha mujhe woh dil nahin raha

Jata hoon daagh-e-hasrat-e-hasti liye hue

Hoon shama-e-kushta dar-khor-e-mahfil nahin raha

Marne ki ae dil aur hi tadbeer kar ke main

Shayan-e-dast-o-bazu-e-qatil nahin raha

Bar-ru-e-shash-jihat dar-e-aaina baz hai

Yan imtiyaz-e-naqis-o-kamil nahin raha

Wa kar diye hain shauq ne band-e-naqab-e-husn

Ghair az nigah ab koi hail nahin raha

Go main raha rahin-e-sitam-ha-e-rozgar

Lekin tere khayal se ghafil nahin raha

Dil se hawa-e-kasht-e-wafa mit gayi ke wan

Hasil siwaye hasrat hasil nahin raha

Bedad-e-ishq se nahin darta magar Asad

Jis dil pe naaz tha mujhe woh dil nahin raha

Har chand main hoon toti-e-shireen-sukhan wale

Aaina ah mere muqabil nahin raha

Jaan-dad-gah ka hausla fursat-gudaz hai

Yan arsa-e-tapidan-e-basmal nahin raha

Hoon qatra-zan ba-wadi-e-hasrat shabana-roz

Juz tar-e-ashk jada-e-manzil nahin raha

Ae aah meri khatir-e-wabasta ke siwa

Duniya mein koi uqda-e-mushkil nahin raha

Andaz-e-nala yaad hain sab mujh ko par Asad

Jis dil pe naaz tha mujhe woh dil nahin raha
