وہ تو بس وعدہ دیدار سے بہلانا تھا

Woh to bas wada-e-deedar se behlana tha

Hum ko aana tha yaqeen, un ko ghar jana tha

Tum nahi aaye to phir aur kisay aana tha

Main tha ya sham'a thi, ya bazm mein parwana tha

Kya hua dil jo mita, hum ko na pachtana tha

Husn walon se bari dair ka yaarana tha

Laakh thukraya hamein tu ne, magar hum na milay

Tere qadmon se alag ho ke kahan jana tha

Jin se neeki ki tawaqqa ho wahi naam dharein

Ik yeh waqt bhi qismat mein meri aana tha

Barhami tark-e-ta'alluq ka bahana to na ho

Woh to naadaan abhi hain, unhein samjhana tha

Naza ke waqt to dushman bhi chale aatay hain

Aisay aalam mein to zaalim tujhe aa jana tha

Husn se ishq ki baatein bhi hui theen ik din

Hum ne us shokh ko, us ne hamein pehchana tha

Shikway jaur bhi hain silsila raaz-o-niyaaz

Hum ko hona tha pasheman, unhein sharmana tha

Be-sabab tark-e-ta'alluq ka bara ranj hua

Laakh ranjish ki, ik umar ka yaarana tha

Mar jab beet chali to yeh khula raaz Naseer!

Husn naaraaz na tha, ishq ko tarpana tha
