dar-ba-dar phirta tha jab-tab tujhe aabaad kiya
kya bigada tha tera kyun mujhe barbaad kiya

jis tarah karta hai tu khun-e-tamanna mera
kya kabhi main ne bhi aise tujhe nashad kiya

zakhm jo tu ne diye the hain abhi tak taza
jab chali sard hawa main ne tujhe yaad kiya

is se behtar tha ki tu qaid hi rakhta mujh ko
par katar kar mera kyun bagh mein aazad kiya

zindagi khel nahin hai jise bachchon ki tarah
kabhi aabaad kiya aur kabhi barbaad kiya

zeb deta hai tujhe mufsid-e-dauran ka khitab
narawa tha jo wo kyun ai sitam-ijad kiya

baghban jis ko banaya tha usi ne 'barqi'
sahn-e-gulshan mein bapa nala-o-fariyaad kiya
