aap ki aankh se gahra hai meri ruh ka zakhm
aap kya soch sakenge meri tanhai ko

main to dam tod raha tha magar afsurda hayat
khud chali aai meri hausla-afzai ko

lazzat-e-gham ke siwa teri nigahon ke baghair
kaun samjha hai mere zakhm ki gahrai ko

main badhaunga teri shohrat-e-khush-bu ka nikhaar
tu dua de mere afsana-e-ruswai ko

wo to yun kahiye ki ek qaus-e-quzah phail gai
warna main bhul gaya tha teri angdai ko
