ganwa ke dil sa guhar dard-e-sar kharid liya
bahut garan tha ye sauda magar kharid liya

amin-e-ishq ne dil-e-be-khatar kharid liya
ye aaina ma-e-aina-gar kharid liya

ghazab tha ishq ka sauda ki ahl-e-hosh ne bhi
jo kuchh nasib tha sab bech kar kharid liya

bhala ho gham ki tunuk-zarfi-e-tabiat ka
agarche baat ganwa di asar kharid liya

rah-e-raza mein hai khuni-kafan se shan-e-shahid
to jaan bech ke rakht-e-safar kharid liya

jo dil kahe na kahun wo jo tu kahe wo kahun
to kya zamir bhi ai hila-gar kharid liya

talash-e-aish mein ai 'arzu' hai ranj hi ranj
sitam-nasib ye kya dard-e-sar kharid liya
