dil kasu se to kya lagana tha
hum ko manzur ji se jaana tha

aastan tha wo aastana-e-ishq
kat kar sar jahan chadhana tha

did ko tere aae the hum yan
zindagi ka faqat bahana tha

nikle wo aah apne dushman-e-jaan
hum ne jin jin ko dost jaana tha

jis zamane mein hum hue the khalq
hae wo kya bura zamana tha

kyun diya us pari ko dil tu ne
kya tu ai 'muntazir' diwana tha
