na hua par na hua wo but khud sar apna
tujh se insaf hai ai dawar-e-mahshar apna

be-qarari ne lagaya hai thikane mujh ko
pahlu-e-mehr-e-qayamat mein hai bistar apna

kya khule phirte ho tum qatil-e-alam ho kar
kyon dikhate ho tamasha sar-e-mahshar apna

ham-nashin mahw-e-tasawwur hun uthaun kyon kar
de gaya hai kisi zanu ke tale sar apna

mil gaya ek na milne se tere kunj-e-lahad
ban gaya ek bigadne se tere ghar apna

mujh se kya puchhte ho donon jahan phunk bhi do
jalne wale bhi hain apne rukh-e-anwar apna

dil mein kya sochte ho tum jise chaho dekho
aankh apni hai nazar apni hai manzar apna

is ki tarkib kharabi se hai allah allah
wo bigadte hain to banta hai muqaddar apna

hae wo rang-e-mohabbat ki tabassum ban kar
kisi aaluda lab-e-yar mein tha ghar apna

kuchh khabar hai tumhein bargashtagi-e-mizhgan ki
wo nazakat se sanbhalta nahin nashtar apna

chahiye aaina-e-dil pe fana ki saiqal
mitte hi mitte chamak jaega jauhar apna

tera bakhti ne wafa khub chhupa rakha tha
khul gaya jalsa-e-ahbab pe jauhar apna
