chhup nahin saktin kabhi sine mein baaten raaz ki
ek shikari si nazar hai mere tir-andaz ki

aaj kyon ahl-e-qafas se kar diya mujh ko juda
par katarwane the main ne is liye parwaz ki

yaad rakhna sham-e-mahfil ye mera zauq-e-sujud
aarzi hai umr tere naz ki andaz ki

nikhat-e-awara qaem tujh se hai bazm-e-chaman
teri khamoshi sada hai saz-e-be-awaz ki

hum samajh kar bhi na samjhe apne chaaragar ki baat
pyar tha ya mehrbani thi nigah-e-naz ki

bul-hawas nazron ko piri mein hai itna hi malal
ud na sakne se jo haalat hoti hai ek baz ki

ek shua si dekhta hun bujh rahi shama mein
hai bina anjam mein bhi ek nae aaghaz ki

ud gaya jate hi us se husn ka dilkash nikhaar
aaine mein bas gai surat tere eajaz ki
