tere khone ka kis qadar gham hai
aaj aalam tamam mubham hai

dekhta hun nazar nahin aata
kaisa nairang chashm-e-pur-nam hai

dard thahra hua sa hai dil mein
sozish-e-gham bhi aaj kam kam hai

kitni viraniyan hain aankhon mein
kitna pairon mein raqs-e-paiham hai

dida-o-dil bujhe se jate hain
kaisi ghamnak sham-e-matam hai

tum ne 'masu' ko bhi dekha hai
wo to afsurdagi mujassam hai
