jab qafas mein mujh ko yaad-e-ashiyan aa jae hai
samne aankhon ke ek bijli si lahra jae hai

dil mera wo khana-e-viran hai jal bujhne pe bhi
rakh se jis ki dhuan ta-der uthta jae hai

tum to thukra kar guzar jao tumhein tokega kaun
main pada hun rah mein to kya tumhaara jae hai

chashm-e-tar hai is taraf aur us tarf abr-e-bahaar
dekhna hai aaj kis se kitna roya jae hai

main to bas ye jaanta hun is ko hona hai kharab
kya khabar us ki mujhe dil aae hai ya jae hai

mera pindar-e-khudai us ghadi dekhe koi
jab mujhe banda tera kah kar pukara jae hai

ab wo kya aaenge tum bhi aankh jhapka lo 'niyaz'
subh ka tara bhi ab to jhilmilata jae hai
