جو گیرا وہ پستیوں میں، تو غُبار تک نہ اُٹھا

Jo gira woh pastiyo mein, to ghubaar tak na utha

woh alam-naseeb jis se gham-e-yaar tak na utha

koi mauja-e-tabassum, lab-e-yaar tak na utha

woh nazakaton ka aalam, ke yeh baar tak na utha

dar-e-yaar hai woh manzil, ke hai zindagi ka haasil

woh qadam hi kya utha jo, dar-e-yaar tak na utha

woh to ik man-chala tha, ke zaban pe raaz laya

koi fitna phir aana ka, kabhi daar tak na utha

kahin shaakh sar-ngoon hai, kahin barg-e-gul, zuboon hai

jo khizan ki zad mein aaya, woh bahaar tak na utha

koi aarzoo to kyun kar, kahin apna sar uthati

tere baar-e-gham se dab kar, dil-e-zaar tak na utha

woh daba para hai ab tak, teh gird-e-raah-e-ghurbat

wohi bad-naseeb laasha, jo mazaar tak na utha

jo sahar hui numayaan, to hazaron dard jaagay

koi gham ki neend so kar, shab-e-taar tak na utha

mujhe khaak mein milaya, yeh teri sitam-zarifi

yeh meri niyaaz-mandi, ke ghubaar tak na utha

bahaar ka zamana, Naseer haal-e-gulshan

gul-tar ki baat chhoro, sar-e-khaar tak na utha
