dam-e-marg baalin par aaya to hota
mere munh mein pani chuwaya to hota

ye sach hai wafadar koi nahin hai
kisi din mujhe aazmaya to hota

tasalli na deta tashaffi na karta
mere rone par muskuraya to hota

mujhe apni furqat se mara to mara
dam-e-naza mukhda dikhaya to hota

ghalat hai ki murda nahin zinda hota
tu mere janaze par aaya to hota

wahin chaunk uthta main khwab-e-lahad se
mera shana tu ne hilaya to hota

hua id ke din main qurban tujh par
bula kar gale se lagaya to hota

mere qatl par tum ne bida uthaya
mere hath ka pan khaya to hota

wo sunta na sunta hawas to na rahti
mera haal hamdam sunaya to hota

misi par bhi daghon ka samra na paya
charagh ek lahad par jalaya to hota

gila hai mujhe tum se murghan-e-gulshan
kabhi dard mera bataya to hota

kabhi mere jaanib se parwaz karte
koi haal-pursi ko aaya to hota

nahin ye bhi shikwa na aae na aae
gulon ko mera gham sunaya to hota

dar-o-baam ka 'bahr' khwahan nahin main
mere aashiyane mein saya to hota
