dast-e-pur-khun ko kaf-e-dast-e-nigaran samjhe
qatl-gah thi jise hum mahfil-e-yaran samjhe

kuchh bhi daman mein nahin khar-e-malamat ke siwa
ai junun hum bhi kise ku-e-bahaaran samjhe

tute dhage hi se karte hain rafu chaak-e-jigar
kaun bechaargi-e-sina-figaran samjhe

han wo bedard to begana hi achchha yaro
jo na tauqir-e-gham-e-dard-gusaran samjhe

khanda-zan us pe rahe halqa-e-zanjir-e-junun
jo na kuchh manzilat-e-silsila-daran samjhe

aaj se hum ne bhi zakhmon ko tabassum jaana
razm ko bazm-gah-e-lala-ezaran samjhe

tod den hum jo na talwar to kahiye 'majruh'
tegh-zan kya hunar-e-zakhm-shiaran samjhe
