aaj rota hai mere dil ko jalane wala
pani ko daudta hai aag lagane wala

kab wo hum ko bhala khatir mein hai lane wala
kaun duniya mein raha naz uthane wala

kaise milta hai zamane ko nibhane wala
jo mila hum ko mila dil ka dukhane wala

koi na-fahm kahan baat ko teri samjhe
kya hi andaz hai har baat udane wala

phir ke dekha na kabhi koi ho jita marta
kaisa be-rahm hai munh pher ke jaane wala

khauf kis ka hai tumhein hila bahana na karo
aa hi jata hai har ek taur se aane wala

ai saba kah de ki khamosh rahe murgh-e-sahar
kaun hota hai wo sote ko jagane wala

pahlu-e-qabr mein ek roz hai sona sab ko
naznin koi ho ya naz uthane wala

naza mein dekh ke 'diwan' ko ro kar bole
rutha jata hai mera aaj manane wala
