basti mein qatl-e-am ki koshish na ban saka
main qatilon ke zehn ki sazish na ban saka

koi kami na us mein thi shayad isi liye
wo shakhs mere waste khwahish na ban saka

main ruk nahin saka to meri bebasi thi ye
baadal tha us ke sahn mein barish na ban saka

jis par tamam-umr bahut naz tha mujhe
mera wo ilm meri sifarish na ban saka

kya baat thi wo dil mein mere umr-bhar raha
jo shakhs mere ghar ki numaish na ban saka
