aap mein kyunkar rahe koi ye saman dekh kar
sham-e-ismat ko bhari mahfil mein uryan dekh kar

dil ko bahlate ho kya kya aarzu-e-kham se
amr-e-na-mumkin mein goya rang-e-imkan dekh kar

kya ajab hai bhul jaen ahl-e-dil apna bhi dard
husn-e-mastana ko aakhir mein pashiman dekh kar

dhundte phirte ho ab tute hue dil mein panah
dard se khali dil-e-gabr-o-musalman dekh kar

dil jala kar wadi-e-ghurbat ko raushan kar chale
khub sujhi jalwa-e-sham-e-ghariban dekh kar

imtiyaz-e-surat-o-mani se begana hua
aaine ko aaina hairan ko hairan dekh kar

pairahan mein kya sama sakta habab-e-jaan-ba-lab
hasti-e-mauhum ka khwab-e-pareshan dekh kar

sabr karna sakht mushkil hai tadapna sahl hai
apne bas ka kaam kar leta hun aasan dekh kar

aur kya hoti 'yagana' dard-e-isyan ki dawa
kya ghazal yaad aai wallah fard-e-isyan dekh kar
