main toDun ahd-o-paiman-e-wafa ye ho nahin sakta
wo hote hain to ho jaen juda ye ho nahin sakta
pila saqi ki shaghl-e-mai-kashi ka waqt jata hai
yunhi chhai rahe kali ghaTa ye ho nahin sakta
wo chashm-e-surmagin jab tak masihai na farmae
mariz-e-gham ko ho jae shifa ye ho nahin sakta
na dekhe shaiKH tu jab tak buton ko meri aankhon se
nazar aae tujhe shan-e-KHuda ye ho nahin sakta
wo baz aaen jafa-o-jaur se ye ghair-mumkin hai
main chhoDun KHu-e-taslim-o-raza ye ho nahin sakta
nadamat ho mujhe apni jafa par ye to mumkin hai
tera dil ho pashiman-e-jafa ye ho nahin sakta
pasandida na ho 'simab' kyun tarz-e-suKHan teri
na lae rang faizan-e-huma ye ho nahin sakta
Ghazal
Main toDun ahd-o-paiman-e-wafa ye ho nahin sakta
