dil mein yaad-e-but-e-be-pir liye baitha hun
yani ek zulm ki taswir liye baitha hun

aah mein dard ki tasir liye baitha hun
dil mein ek khun bhara tir liye baitha hun

ek zara si khalish-e-dard-e-jigar par ye ghamand
jaise kul ishq ki jagir liye baitha hun

hai mujhe saz-e-tarab sokhta-samani-e-dil
parda-e-khak mein iksir liye baitha hun

chur shishe pe nazar padte hi dil yaad aaya
mitne wale teri taswir liye baitha hun

qaid ko tod ke samjha ki sahaara toda
hath mein panw ki zanjir liye baitha hun

'arzu' ho chuki sau martaba duniya bedar
aur main soi hui taqdir liye baitha hun
