wo be-wafa hai to kya mat kaho bura usko

wo be-wafa hai to kya mat kaho bura us ko
ki jo hua so hua khush rakhe khuda us ko
nazar na aae to us ki talash mein rahna
kahin mile to palat kar na dekhna us ko


wo sada-khu tha zamane ke kham samajhta kya
hawa ke sath chala le udi hawa us ko
wo apne bare mein kitna hai khush-guman dekho
jab us ko main bhi na dekhun to dekhna us ko


abhi se jaana bhi kya us ki kam-khayali par
abhi to aur bahut hoga sochna us ko
use ye dhun ki mujhe kam se kam udas rakhe
meri du'a ki khuda de ye hausla us ko


panah dhund rahi hai shab-e-girafta-dilan
koi batao mere ghar ka rasta us ko
ghazal mein tazkira us ka na kar 'nasir' ki ab
bhula chuka wo tujhe tu bhi bhul ja us ko
