dil mukaddar hai aaina-ru ka
na mila rang se pata bu ka

hai dam-e-subh wo khumarin aankh
ek tuta tilism jadu ka

kam jo thahre jafa se meri wafa
to ye pasang hai taraazu ka

dil ki bechainiyan khuda ki panah
takiya hat hat gaya hai pahlu ka

kahin jati bahaar rukti hai
daman aaya na hath mein bu ka

hai nai qaid ab ye aazadi
zor tuta hua hai bazu ka

aandhi aahon ki sail ashkon ki
ab nahin koi apne qabu ka

qahqaha bharti hai surahi kya
zarf khum se siwa hai chullu ka

soti qismat ki nind udawega
narm takiya kisi ke zanu ka

ishq-bazi hai jaan ki jokham
wahin mara pada jahan chuka

'arzu' dil hai waqf-e-bim-o-umid
jhilmilata charagh jugnu ka
