hangama-khez dawa-e-mansur ho gaya
lab ham-nawa-e-khatir-e-maghrur ho gaya

bazm-e-khayal-e-yar mein hai mahw-e-arzu
mujh se mera khayal bahut dur ho gaya

mitna tha kab tarawish-e-zakhm-e-jigar ka rang
han riste riste zakhm se nasur ho gaya

tha jalwa-gah-e-yar mera daman-e-nigah
jis zarre par nigah padi tur ho gaya

bas ai sukun-e-yas ziyaada sitam na kar
wo iztirab-e-shauq to kafur ho gaya

nakaami-e-azal ki sitam-raniyan na puchh
main apne ikhtiyar se majbur ho gaya

uf iztirab-e-shauq ki hasrat-faroshiyan
husn-e-haya-parast bhi majbur ho gaya

main aur ye sarnawisht-e-malamat ki ja nahin
main us ke intikhab se majbur ho gaya

hangama-ha-e-ghalghala-e-ma-o-man na puchh
'bekhud' bhi apne ahd ka mansur ho gaya
