Sukun-e-dil na mayassar hua zamane mein

sukun-e-dil na mayassar hua zamane mein
na yaad rakhne mein tum ko na bhul jaane mein

hamesha wusat-e-aflak mein raha hai gham
kahan qayam hai shahin ka aashiyane mein

uruj-e-tirgi-e-shab se ho sahar paida
yahi nizam hai duniya ke kar-KHane mein

shafaq ke KHun ki surKHi bhi ho gai shamil
sahar-ba-dosh sitaron ke jhilmilane mein

abhi bahaar ka kuchh aur intizar karo
ki thoDi der hai kaliyon ke muskurane mein

ye wo mata-e-giran hai jo mil nahin sakti
sukun-e-dil ki tamanna na kar zamane mein

kabhi qarar dil-e-be-qarar ko bhi mile
ilahi kaun kami hai tere KHazane mein

kisi se kuchh bhi shikayat karun to kya hasil
mila na koi wafa-ashna zamane mein

gulon ki bazm hi ranginiyan ba-dosh nahin
har ek naqsh hasin hai nigar-KHane mein

mein raundta hua kanTon ko yun guzarta hun
ki rah-rawon ko suhulat ho aane jaane mein

wo ek tum ho ki tum ko kisi ne kuchh na kaha
wo ek hum hain ki ruswa hue zamane mein

tere KHayal se aati nahin jo lab pe mere
wahi to kaam ki ek baat thi fasane mein

wo iztirab-e-musalsal ka lutf kya jaane
musibaton se jo ghabra gaya zamane mein

kuchh andalib ka KHun jigar bhi hai shamil
gulon ki bazm ki ranginiyan baDhane mein

hamin to lazzat-e-azar ke nahin KHugar
unhen bhi lutf sa aata hai kuchh satane mein

qusur un ki nigahon ki shoKHiyon ka bhi hai
hamari jurat-e-shauq-o-talab baDhane mein

rahega muddaton charcha mera zabanon par
kisi ki bazm se 'anwar' uTh ke jaane mein
