gham ne bandha hai mere ji pe khala hae khala
phir nae sir seti aai hai bala hae bala

ai gul-e-gulshan-e-jaan kar mujhe yak-bar nihaal
khar hasrat ka kaleje mein sala hae sala

dekh sakta nahin main gul kun har yak khar ke sath
apne ham-rah raqibon kun na la hae na la

zabh karne mein mere rahm na laya us ne
balki itna bhi kaha nen ki gala hae gala

jis ne khaya hai tere abru-e-khun-rez ka zakhm
murgh-e-bismil sa lahu bich rala hae rala

jaan-e-jaanan kun mere pas shitabi lao
nin to yak pal mein mera jaan chala hae chala

be-tarah ab to birah aag dahakti hai 'siraj'
dil mera kyun na pukare ki jala hae jala
