A ghazal from peer-e-Kaamil

Meri zindagi tau firaq hai
Woh azal se dil mein makee’n sahi

Woh nigah-e-shauq se door hain
Rag-e-jaan se lakh qareeb sahi

Humein jaan deni hai aik din
Woh kisi tarhan, woh kahin sahi

Sar-e-tor ho, sar-e-hashar ho
Humein intezar qabool hai

woh kabhi milein, woh kahin milein
woh kabhi sahi, woh kahin sahi

Hua un pe jo mera bas nahi
Ke yeh aashiqui hai, hawas nahi

Main unhi ka tha, unhi ka hoon
Woh mere nahi, tau nahi sahi

jo ho faisla woh sunaiye,

isay hashar par na uthaye

Jo karein gein ap sitam wahan
Woh abhi sahi, woh yahin sahi

Ghum e zindagi se faraar kya,
Yeh sakoon kya, yeh qarar kya

Ghum e zindagi bhi tau hai zindagi
Jo nahi chain tau nahi sahi

usay dekhne ki jo lau lagi
Tau dekh he lein gein hum, Naseer

Woh hazaar aankh se dur ho
Woh hazaar parda nasheen sahi
