Kiya karoo.N kiya na karoo.N kuch samagh aata nahi.N
door he nazroo.N se lekin dil se wo jaata nahi.N

He fazoo.N ter tujh se he sab roonaq-o-rang-e-chaman
tu wahaa.N jata nahi.N to koi gul khilta nahi.N

Ye samajh sakta tha ke milna tera dushwaar tha
Per bina kooshish kiye mujh ko maza milta nahi.n

Sunta tha mai.N waaz-e-jannat , go kahi.N ka tazkira
Mai.N nahi.N sunta ager gher se tere milta nahi.N

Khhak bhi hoota , hazimat bhi uthata tha wahaa.N
Khoof-e-khud rai se he gher ko tere jata nahi.N

Haalat-e-dil janne ko jan-e-jaanaa.N peshraft
Tu nahi.N kerta to mujh ko hoosla hota nahi.N
