dard-o-gham kuchh bayan kiya na gaya
chaak sine ka par siya na gaya

mar gaya dekhte hi main afsos
haif hai ji badan mein aa na gaya

hath us bewafa-o-bad-khu ke
dekhti aankhon ji diya na gaya

aah-o-afsos tere dard mein dil
mar gaya us sate jiya na gaya

shauq mein wasl ke tere har-dam
jam-e-gham kis sate piya na gaya

baith ai tang-dil 'ali' ko bhi
ek bose se khush kiya na gaya
