hamare zehn mein mahshar bapa hai kya kiya jae
ye dil aamada-e-tark-e-wafa hai kya kiya jae

musalsal barish-e-sang-e-sada hai kya kiya jae
yahi meri wafaon ka sila hai kya kiya jae

labon tak aa ke sab harf-e-shikayat tut jate hain
ajab andaz se wo dekhta hai kya kiya jae

bichhad kar aap se jine ki khwahish kufr hai lekin
hamari zindagi hi be-haya hai kya kiya jae

ye mana khwab hai ai zakhm-e-nau teri khalish lekin
yahan pahle hi ek mela laga hai kya kiya jae

hamesha sochte rahna bhi kuchh achchha nahin hota
magar shair hamesha sochta hai kya kiya jae

wo insan jo mera hamraaz hai ham-zad hai 'qaisar'
wo mujh se aaj tak na-ashna hai kya kiya jae
