mata-e-shauq to hai dard-e-rozgar to hai
agar bahaar nahin ishrat-e-bahaar to hai
ada-e-chaak-e-gareban se ba-KHabar na sahi
junun-e-shauq ko farda ka eatibar to hai
taras rahe hain dil-o-jaan jo rang-o-bu ke liye
mere nasib mein ek dasht-e-intizar to hai
kahan nasib hawas ko junun ki aaraish
lahu lahu hai gareban tar tar to hai
in aablon ko hiqarat se dekhne wale
in aablon se chaman ka tere waqar to hai
hazar tarah se ruswa hain ahl-e-dard to kya
tera dayar to hai tera rahguzar to hai
hayat talKH sahi roz-o-shab haram sahi
dil-o-nazar ko ye mahaul sazgar to hai
Ghazal
Mata-e-shauq to hai dard-e-rozgar to hai
