apne beganon mein main ne farq kuchh paya nahin
is liye lab par koi shikwa kabhi laya nahin

aasman-e-dil pe baadal gham ka yun chhaya raha
han magar aankhon se main ne us ko barsaya nahin

khush-gawari ka tassur aa gaya chehre pe yun
zakhm jo dil par laga tha wo to bhar paya nahin

tum ne ghairon ke liye mujh se kiya jang-o-jadal
mere ikhlas-o-wafa ne tum ko tadpaya nahin

apni mahrumi ka main kyun kar karun shikwa bata
jaanta hun raat ka hota koi saya nahin

sair-tan ki wadiyon ki to kiya wo bar bar
ruh ki gahraiyon mein par utar paya nahin

kaisi qurbat wasl kya aur kya qarar-e-jaan-o-dil
waqt ne sab kuchh diya main ne magar paya nahin

kaisi ulfat pyar kaisa aur kya mehr-o-wafa
shahr mein mere to aisi shai koi laya nahin
