yan talak ke hai tere hijr mein fariyaad ki bas
na hua tu bhi kabhi hae ye irshad ki bas

ek bulbul bhi chaman mein na rahi ab ki fasal
zulm aisa hi kiya tu ne ai sayyaad ki bas

be-sutun khod ke sar phod diya ji apna
kaam aisa hi hua tujh se ai farhad ki bas

dil ki hasrat na rahi dil mein mere kuchh baqi
ek hi tegh laga aisi ai jallad ki bas

ishq mein us ke bagule ki tera ai 'taban'
khak apni ko diya yan tain barbaad ki bas
