guzri thi ek bar jo dil ki gali se main
do-chaar aaj bhi hun usi be-kali se main

be-zar is qadar hun gham-e-ashiqi se main
mujh se zara khafa hai khushi aur khushi se main

nikli hun jab se dhundne be-laus chahaten
dhoka hi kha rahi hun badi sadgi se main

madum us ki aankh se pahchan ho gai
jaise ki mill rahi thi kisi ajnabi se main

jins-e-wafa jahan mein nayab kyon hui
ro ro ke puchhti rahi har aadmi se main

apni khushi se waise basar to na kar saki
naraaz bhi nahin hun magar zindagi se main

main ne bhi saf lafzon mein gham se ye kah diya
pichha chhuda ke aai hun afsurdagi se main

mai-khana chal ke rind ka khud puchhta hai haal
manus is tarah se hun ab mai-kashi se main

jam-o-subu nahin teri aankhon se ab pila
ai saqi mar na jaun kahin tishnagi se main
