dil sard ho gaya hai tabiat bujhi hui
ab kya hai wo utar gai naddi chadhi hui

tum jaan de ke lete ho ye bhi nai hui
lete nahin sakhi to koi chiz di hui

is tute phute dil ko na chhedo pare hato
kya kar rahe ho aag hai is mein dabi hui

lo hum bataen ghuncha-o-gul mein hai farq kya
ek baat hai kahi hui ek be-kahi hui

khun-rez jis qadar hain wo rahte hain sar-nigun
khanjar hua katar hui ya chhuri hui

'shair' khuda ke waste tauba ka kya qusur
hai kis ke munh se phir ye subuhi lagi hui
