حق وفا کے جو ہم جتانے لگے

haq-e-wafā ke jo ham jatāne lageaap kuchh kah ke muskurāne lage

thā yahāñ dil meñ ta'n-e-vasl-e-adūuzr un kī zabāñ pe āne lage

ham ko jīna paṛe gā furqat meñvo agar himmat āzmāne lage

ḍar hai merī zabāñ na khul jā'eab vo bāteñ bahut banāne lage

jān bachati nazar nahīñ ātīġhair ulfat bahut jatāne lage

tum ko karnā paṛe gā uzr-e-jafāham agar dard-e-dil sunāne lage

sakht mushkil hai shaiwa-e-taslīmham bhī ākhir ko jī churāne lage

jī meñ hai loñ razā-e-pīr-e-muġhāñqāfile phir haram ko jāne lage

sirr-e-bātin ko fāsh kar yā rabahl-e-zāhir bahut satāne lage

waqt-e-rukhsat thā sakht Hālī parham bhī baiṭhe the jab vo jāne lage
