ہر یاد کو یوں زخم بناتے نہیں دل کا

har yaad ko youn zakham banatay nahin dil ka
har teer ko paivest rug-e-jaan nahin kertay

yeh masla ab ahal-e-mohabbat ka hai apna
mertay hain to kuch aap pr ahsaan nahin kertay

khat layain na layain tera hum naama baroon ko
bus daikhtay rehtay hain paraishan nahin kartay

aisay bhi tou rakhtay nahin khanjar pay gulo ko
itna bhi to qatil ko pashaiman nahin kartay

kub shamain jalata hai shab-e-mah main koi
tu ayai tou ham ghar main charaghan nahin kartay

logon ko guman tuk nahin hota hay junoon ka
hum dil ki tarah chaak-e-garaiban nahin kertay

hum uth kay chalay aatay hain yaaro dur-e-janan se
ghalib ki tarah minnat-e-darban nahin kertay
