daba pada hai kahin dasht mein khazana mera
tu kis talash mein hai shahr mein diwana mera

tamam raat hai aankhon se aansuon ki kashid
tamam raat khula hai sharab-khana mera

ye meri ruh ka jhagda tha aasman ke sath
bila-qusur badan ban gaya nishana mera

falak ke sar pe pade hain meri zamin ke panw
mere sirhane se uncha hai paitana mera

main ek zakhm barabar zamin pe rahta hun
wo kah rahe hain ye qabza hai ghasibana mera

to aao ahl-e-jahan is pe faisla kar len
makan sara tumhaara darun-e-khana mera

khud apne aap mein hai sari meri aamad-o-raft
kahin se aana na ab hai kahin bhi jaana mera

kahan ka ishq hawas tak bhi ho nahin sakti
yahi rahega jo andaz mujrimana mera

bikherni hai jise zulf us ka istiqbaal
wabaal-e-shahr se khali hai ek shana mera

main khub faqa na karta to mar gaya hota
mere khilaf saf-ara tha aab-o-dana mera

kabhi khuda kabhi insan rah mein hail
khud apne aap se rishta bhi ghaebana mera

kahin mere kisi lamhe se phir hui koi chuk
phir aate aate kahin rah gaya zamana mera

tere ghayab ki khidmat mein sara mera qusur
wajud phir bhi wahi ghair-hazirana mera

wo mere lafz ke donon suron se waqif hai
kabhi bhi kaam na aaya koi bahana mera
