aabla-pa koi guzra tha jo pichhle san mein
surkh kanton ki bahaar aai hai ab ke ban mein

dekhna rang-e-badan yar ke pairahan mein
chandni dudh si chhitki hai mere aangan mein

dekhna dida-waro aamad-e-tufan to nahin
tapki hai dard ki ek bund mere daman mein

main ham-aghosh-e-sanam tha magar a pir-e-haram
ye shikan kaise padi aap ke pairahan mein

kuchh na kuchh aaj asiron ne kaha to hai zarur
ek ek gul se lipatti hai saba gulshan mein

sahal itne bhi nahin ai sitam-ijad ki hum
tham lete hain gareban diwane-pan mein

sar taslim nahin bazu-e-qatil ka jawab
aakhirash mare gae khud bhi masiha an mein

ja rahe ho to zara dekhna tum bhi 'majruh'
meri aankhen wahin zindan ke kisi rauzan mein
