bikhre jab khwab to haalat ne rone na diya
umr bhar ghairat-e-jazbaat ne rone na diya

rah pur-khar thi phulon se rawish saj na saki
phir bhi dushwari-e-haalat ne rone na diya

go ki rukhsat hui sat-rang dhanak aap ke sath
hijr ki raat mein barsat ne rone na diya

the wo bebas sitam-e-dahr pe jo rote rahe
dil tha pur-azm to sadmat ne rone na diya

dil shikasta the magar hausla rakhte the 'kiran'
ishq mein gham ki riwayat ne rone na diya
