dhum thi apni parsai ki
ki bhi aur kis se aashnai ki

kyun badhate ho ikhtilat bahut
hum ko taqat nahin judai ki

munh kahan tak chhupaoge hum se
tum ko aadat hai khud-numai ki

lag mein hain lagao ki baaten
sulh mein chhed hai ladai ki

milte ghairon se ho milo lekin
hum se baaten karo safai ki

dil raha pa-e-band-e-ulfat-e-dam
thi abas aarzu rihai ki

dil bhi pahlu mein ho to yan kis se
rakhiye ummid dilrubai ki

shahr o dariya se bagh o sahra se
bu nahin aati aashnai ki

na mila koi ghaarat-e-iman
rah gai sharm parsai ki

bakht-e-ham-dastani-e-shaida
tu ne aakhir ko na-rasai ki

sohbat-e-gah-gahi-e-rashki
tu ne bhi hum se bewafai ki

maut ki tarah jis se darte the
saat aa pahunchi us judai ki

zinda phirne ki hai hawas 'haali'
intiha hai ye be-hayai ki
