main jang jit ke jabr-o-ana ki haar gaya
adu pe rahm ka ehsas mujh ko mar gaya

amir-e-shahr ke afw-o-karam ko kya kahiye
khule wo log ki khauf-e-salib-o-dar gaya

ghurur-e-kasrat-e-lashkar na mere kaam aaya
main so raha tha ki shab-khun ghanim mar gaya

mera nasib ki bikhri thi dal dal meri
koi khizan ka bagula mujhe sanwar gaya

sadi ki raat guzari umid ke bal par
bujha charagh-e-sahar karb-e-intizar gaya

kisi ne chap bhi jate hue na us ki suni
jo shakhs barson tere shahr mein guzar gaya

shab-e-firaq ke dariya mein kud kar 'rasikh'
tamam qarz wafa ke koi utar gaya
