dil ke tin aatish-e-hijran se bachaya na gaya
ghar jala samne par hum se bujhaya na gaya

dil mein rah-e-dil mein ki meamar-e-qaza se ab tak
aisa matbu-e-makan koi banaya na gaya

kabhu aashiq ka tere jabhe se nakhun ka kharash
khat-e-taqdir ke manind mitaya na gaya

kya tunuk-hausla the dida-o-dil apne aah
ek dam raaz-e-mohabbat ka chhupaya na gaya

dil jo didar ka qatil ke bahut bhuka tha
us sitam-kushta se ek zakhm bhi khaya na gaya

main to tha said-e-zabun said-gah-e-ishq ke beach
aap ko khak mein bhi khub milaya na gaya

shahr-e-dil-e-ah ajab jae thi par us ke gae
aisa ujda ki kisi tarah basaya na gaya

aaj rukti nahin khame ki zaban rakhiye muaf
harf ka tul bhi jo mujh se ghataya na gaya
