haijaan mein talash-e-sukun kar raha hun main
yun apne gham ko aur fuzun kar raha hun main

wo sun rahe hain aur tabassum hai zer-e-lab
un se bayan haal-e-zabun kar raha hun main

ab is se badh ke aur ho wahshat ka kya subut
talif nuskha-ha-e-junun kar raha hun main

ek dushman-e-wafa se badhai hai rasm-o-rah
khud apni aarzuon ka khun kar raha hun main

ab wadi-e-junun mein qadam rakh chuka hai ishq
tashhir-e-dagh-ha-e-darun kar raha hun main

mashur ho rahe hain wo sun kar mera kalam
dam un pe jaise koi fusun kar raha hun main

mabud hai wo bas mera matlub hi nahin
sajda us aastane pe yun kar raha hun main

shayad ki aab-e-tegh hi aab-e-hayat ho
hadd-e-adab se khud ko barun kar raha hun main

sina bhi mera hath bhi mere tumhein gharaz
zad-kub apne sina ko kyun kar raha hun main

chupke se sah raha hun sitam tere bewafa
meri khata to jab ho ki chun kar raha hun main

zoam-e-khudi mein jis pe na jaane ka ahd tha
us dar pe 'khar' sar ko nigun kar raha hun main
