dil murid-e-ilzam-e-wafa aur bhi nikla
ek gham gham-e-dauran ke siwa aur bhi nikla

yun hone ko hum se hai khafa sara zamana
ek shakhs magar hum se khafa aur bhi nikla

har-chand ki hum karda khataon pe the nadim
duniya ko magar hum se gila aur bhi nikla

pahle hi se barham-kun-e-mahfil thi tabiat
mahaul magar hum se khafa aur bhi nikla

is bar wo dekhen karam-amada nigahen
juz hijr-e-mohabbat ka sila aur bhi nikla

le aai thi zindan mein shahidon ki mohabbat
lekin sabab-e-jurm-o-saza aur bhi nikla

hum wo ki jo raazi-ba-raza ho nahin sakte
har hukm pe honton se gila aur bhi nikla
