subh-e-nau lati hai har sham tumhein kya malum
zakhm khushiyon ke hain paigham tumhein kya malum

bhul kar bhi jo kisi bazm mein aaya na gaya
sainkadon us pe hain ilzam tumhein kya malum

log gulshan mein to chalte hain sar-afraazi se
un mein kitne hain tah-e-dam tumhein kya malum

kuchh andhere bhi khatawar-e-tabahi hain magar
raushni par bhi hai ilzam tumhein kya malum

jis ko tum dhundte ho sham-e-rukh-e-naz liye
wo to arse se hai gumnam tumhein kya malum

jo rukh-e-zist pe tha harf-e-ghalat ki manind
mil raha hai use inam tumhein kya malum

jo kafan bandh ke chalte hain wafa ki rah mein
zindagi kar chuke nilam tumhein kya malum

surkh-ru kaun hua kucha-e-jaanan mein kabhi
namwar bhi hue badnam tumhein kya malum

do qadam bhi na chale rah-e-wafa mein hum log
hai abhi zauq-e-talab kham tumhein kya malum

jo jala raat ki tanhai mein us par bhi 'khayal'
bewafai ka hai ilzam tumhein kya malum
