rifaaqatoN ne diye haiN mujh ko, adaavatoN ke itaab saare

rifaaqatoN ne diye haiN mujh ko, adaavatoN ke itaab saare
mire hii dil par hue haiN naazil, muhabbatoN ke azaab saare

Khushii kii mahfil naa raas aayi, hazaar chaaha ki muskaraayeN
tapish se Gham kii jhulas gaye haiN, shaguftagii ke gulaab saare

yahii hai tadbiir-e-husn-e-gulshan, evaz guloN ke mile haiN kaaNTe
ajeeb qismat ka hai karishma, gunah bane haiN sawaab saare

Gharoor se sar uThaa rahe the, vo jashn-e-hastii manaa rahe the
havaa ne khiiNcha jab apnaa daaman, havaa hue phir hubaab saare

vo Khushbu'oN ka libaas pahne, milaa kuchh aisaa k ek pal meN
paRhe hue the jo jism-o-jaaN par, utar gaye vo naqaab saare

savaal saada-sa ziNdagii se, kiya thaa ham ne bhii ek ''Sarwat''
vo pattharoN kii huii hai baarish, ki mil gaye haiN jawaab saare
