majbur to bahut hain mohabbat mein ji se hum
ye aur baat hai na kahen kuchh kisi se hum

ek sham ham-sukhan the chaman mein kali se hum
yaadash-ba-khair phir na mile zindagi se hum

allah re wo waqt wo majburi-e-hayat
ro ro ke ho rahe the juda jab kisi se hum

taklif-e-iltifat na kar ai nigah-e-naz
ab mutmain hain apne gham-e-zindagi se hum

hain yaad us nazar ki taghaful-shiariyan
ba-wasf-e-irtibaat bhi the ajnabi se hum

badhti hi ja rahi hain abas bad-gumaniyan
na-ashna nahin hain teri barhami se hum

ek ek ada-e-husn-e-gurezan nazar mein hai
pamal ho rahe hain badi be-rukhi se hum

har-su hai ek aalam-e-wahshat shab-e-firaq
ghabra rahe hain silsila-e-tirgi se hum

ghaarat kiya hai jis ne hamara sukun-e-dil
'muztar' sukun-e-dil ke hain khwahan usi se hum
