aazurda ho gaya wo kharidar be-sabab
dil bech kar hua main gunahgar be-sabab

main ne to us se aankh ladai nahin kabhi
abru ne mujh pe khinchi hai talwar be-sabab

main ne balaen bhi nahin lin zulf-e-yar ki
main ho gaya bala-e-giraftar be-sabab

bosa kabhi liya nahin gul se ezar ka
kyun dil ke aable mein chubha khar be-sabab

kyun uth khade hue wo bhala main ne kya kaha
pahlu mein baith kar hue bezar be-sabab

puchhe to koi kya mere taqsir kya gunah
karta hai kyun sitam wo sitamgar be-sabab

ek raat bhi hansa nahin us shama-ru se main
aansu mere gale ke hue haar be-sabab

kis din do-chaar nargisi aankhon se main hua
is ishq ne kiya mujhe bimar be-sabab

jo un ki baat hai wo ladakpan ke sath hai
iqrar be-jahat hai to inkar be-sabab

phaha jagah ki dagh ka shayad sarak gaya
ye chashm-e-tar nahin hai sharar-bar be-sabab

dikhla ki ye bahaar shagufa phulaenge
odha nahin do-shaala-e-gulnar be-sabab

nikle the mujh par aaj wo talwar bandh kar
rahgir kushta ho gae do-chaar be-sabab

aamad nahin kisi ki to kyun jagte ho 'bahr'
rahta hai shab ko koi bhi bedar be-sabab
