yan kise gham hai jo girya ne asar chhod diya
hum ne to shaghl hi ai dida-e-tar chhod diya

dil-e-betab ka kuchh dhyan na aaya us dam
hae kyun hum ne ise waqt-e-sahar chhod diya

kya satae nahin jate hain wa-lekin chup hain
shikwa karna tera ai rashk-e-qamar chhod diya

dam-e-rukhsat kabhi kuchh dil ki tamanna na kahi
daman-e-yar udhar pakda idhar chhod diya

dil ki ulfat na sahi pyar ki baaten na sahi
dekhna bhi to idhar ek nazar chhod diya

ghair ke dhoke mein khat le ke mera qasid se
padhne ko padh to liya nam magar chhod diya

ghair se wada o iqrar hue kya kya kuchh
mere khush karne ko ek fiqra udhar chhod diya

main na kahta tha ki bahkaenge tum ko dushman
tum ne kis waste aana mere ghar chhod diya

munh se jo kahte hain wo kar ke dikha denge tumhein
be-qarari ne hamein chain pe gar chhod diya

hur bhi samne ab aae to kab dekhen 'nizam'
barsen guzren hamein wo shauq-e-nazar chhod diya
