be-zaban kaliyon ka dil maila kiya
ai hawa-e-subh tu ne kya kiya

ki ata har gul ko ek rangin qaba
bu-e-gul ko shahr mein ruswa kiya

kya tujhe wo subh-e-kazib yaad hai
raushni se tu ne jab parda kiya

be-khayali mein sitare chun liye
jagmagati raat ko andha kiya

jate jate sham yak-dam hans padi
ek sitara der tak roya kiya

ruth kar ghar se gaya tu kitni bar
kya dar-o-diwar ne pichha kiya

apni uryani chhupane ke liye
tu ne sare shahr ko nanga kiya
