Wusat-e-kaun-o-makan mein wo samate bhi nahin

wusat-e-kaun-o-makan mein wo samate bhi nahin
jalwa-afroz bhi hain samne aate bhi nahin

parsai ka hamari nahin duniya mein jawab
waqt aa jae to daman ko bachate bhi nahin

hum wo mai-kash hain ki saqi ki nazar phirte hi
jam ki samt nigahon ko uThate bhi nahin

KHud hi rang-e-ruKH-e-mahbub uDa jata hai
hum to rudad-e-gham-e-ishq sunate bhi nahin

bu-e-gul jin ka kiya karti thi rah rah ke tawaf
ab chaman mein wo nasheman nazar aate bhi nahin

hum wo barbaad-e-mohabbat hain KHuda shahid hai
aag dil mein jo lagi ho to bujhate bhi nahin

waqt nazuk hai ye kya soch rahe ho 'shair'
aisi zulmat mein koi shama jalate bhi nahin
