کہتے ہو نہ دیں گے ہم دل اگر پڑا پایا

Kehte ho na denge hum dil agar pada payaDil kahan ke gum kije ham ne mudda'a paya

Ishq se tabiyat ne zeest ka maza payaDard ki dawa paayi dard-e-be-dawa paya

Dost-dar-e-dushman hai e'timaad-e-dil maloomAah-e-be-asar dekhi nala-e-narsa paya

Saadgi-o-pur-kaari be-khudi-o-hushyariHusn ko taghaful mein jur'at-aazma paya

Ghuncha phir laga khulne aaj hum ne apna dilKhoon kiya hua dekha gum kiya hua paya

Haal-e-dil nahin maloom lekin is qadar ya'niHam ne baar-ha dhoonda tum ne baar-ha paya

Shor-e-pand-e-naseh ne zakhm par namak chhidkaAap se koi poochhe tum ne kya maza paya

Hai kahan tamanna ka doosra qadam ya RabHam ne dasht-e-imkan ko ek naqsh-e-pa paya

Be-dimagh-e-khijlat hun rashk-e-imtihan ta keEk be-kasi tujh ko aalam-aashna paya

Khak-bazi-e-ummeed kar-khana-e-tifliYaas ko do aalam se lab ba-khanda va paya

Kyun na wahshat Ghalibؔ baaj-khwah-e-taskeen hoKushta-e-taghaful ko khasm-e-khoon-baha paya

Fikr-e-nala mein goya halqa hun z-sar ta paUz'v uz'v jun zanjeer yak dil sada paya

Shab nazara-parvar tha khwab mein khayal us kaSubh-e-mauja-e-gul ko naqsh-e-boriya paya

Jis qadar jigar khoon ho kucha-dad-e-gul haiZakhm-e-tegh-e-qatil ko turfa dilkusha paya

Hai makeen ki pa-daari naam-e-sahib-e-khanaHam se tere kuche ne naqsh-e-mudda'a paya

Nare Asadؔ jafa saail ne sitam junoon mailTujh ko jis qadar dhoonda ulfat-aazma paya
