Sitam Ho Jaaye Tamheed-e-karam Aisa Bhi Hota Hai

Sitam ho jaaye tamheed-e-karam aisa bhi hota hai,
Mohabbat mein bata ai zabt-e-ghum aisa bhi hota hai..

Bhula deti hain sab ranj o alam hairaniyan meri,
Teri tamkeen-e-behad ki qasam aisa bhi hota hai..

Jafa-e-yaar ke shikwe na kar ai ranj-e-nakaami,
Ummid o yaas dono'n hon baham aisa bhi hota hai..

Mere paas-e-wafa ki bad-gumaani hai baja tum se,
Kahin be-wajah izhaar-e-karam aisa bhi hota hai..

Teri dildaariyon se surat-e-begaangi nikli,
Khushi aisi bhi hoti hai alam aisa bhi hota hai..

Waqaar-e-sabr khoya girya-ha-e-be-qaraari ne,
Kahin ai aitibaar-e-chashm-e-nam aisa bhi hota hai..

Ba-daawa-e-wafa kyun shikwa-sanj-e-jaur hai 'Hasrat',
Dayaar-e-shauq mein ai mahw-e-ghum aisa bhi hota hai.!!
