ek-dam khushk mera dida-e-tar hai ki nahin
majare se mere tujh ko bhi khabar hai ki nahin

yun to uthte hai mere dil se hazaron nale
lekin in khana-kharabon mein asar hai ki nahin

haal mera tujhe be-dard nahin gar bawar
dekh le aa ke ki ab nau-e-digar hai ki nahin

mere ghar kyunki tu aawe ki gali-kuchon mein
tere mushtaq kahan aur kidhar hai ki nahin

tujh mein bu pai na mutlaq kahin jinsiyyat ki
nasl-e-adam se tu ai shokh pisar hai ki nahin

bul-hawas dil ko kar apne zara bas mein 'hasrat'
mard-e-be-sabr tujhe kuchh bhi jigar hai ki nahin
