aa ke sajjada-nashin qais hua mere baad
na rahi dasht mein khali koi ja mere baad

miyan mein us ne jo ki tegh-e-jafa mere baad
khun-girafta koi kya aur na tha mere baad

dosti ka bhi tujhe pas na aaya he he
tu ne dushman se kiya mera gila mere baad

garm-bazari-e-ulfat hai mujhi se warna
koi lene ka nahin nam-e-wafa mere baad

munh pe le daman-e-gul roenge murghan-e-chaman
bagh mein khak udaegi saba mere baad

chaak isi gham se gareban kiya hai main ne
kaun kholega tere band-e-qaba mere baad

ab to hans hans ke lagata hai wo mehndi lekin
khun rula dega use rang-e-hina mere baad

main to gulzar se dil-tang chala ghuncha-rawish
mujh ko kya phir jo koi phul khila mere baad

wo hawa-khwah-e-chaman hun ki chaman mein har subh
pahle main jata tha aur baad-e-saba mere baad

sun ke marne ki khabar yar mere ghar aaya
yani maqbul hui meri wafa mere baad

zabh kar ke mujhe nadim ye hua wo qatil
hath mein phir kabhi khanjar na liya mere baad

meri hi zamzama-sanji se chaman tha aabaad
kiya sayyaad ne ek ek ko riha mere baad

aa gaya bich mein us zulf ki ek main nadan
na hua koi giraftar-e-bala mere baad

qatl to karte ho par khub hi pachhtaoge
mujh sa milne ka nahin ahl-e-wafa mere baad

barg-e-gul lai saba qabr pe meri na nasim
phir gai aisi zamane ki hua mere baad

gir pade aankh se us ki bhi yakayak aansu
zikr mahfil mein jo kuchh mera hua mere baad

zer-e-shamshir yahi soch hai maqtal mein mujhe
dekhiye ab kise lati hai qaza mere baad

shart-e-yari yahi hoti hai ki tu ne 'ghafil'
bhul kar bhi na mujhe yaad kiya mere baad
