haq fath-yab mere khuda kyun nahin hua
tu ne kaha tha tera kaha kyun nahin hua

jab hashr isi zamin pe uthae gae to phir
barpa yahin pe roz-e-jaza kyun nahin hua

wo shama bujh gai thi to kohram tha tamam
dil bujh gae to shor-e-aza kyun nahin hua

wamandgan pe tang hui kyun teri zamin
darwaza aasman ka wa kyun nahin hua

wo shoala-saz bhi isi basti ke log the
un ki gali mein raqs-e-hawa kyun nahin hua

aakhir isi kharabe mein zinda hain aur sab
yun khak koi mere siwa kyun nahin hua

kya jazb-e-ishq mujh se ziyaada tha ghair mein
us ka habib us se juda kyun nahin hua

jab wo bhi the gulu-e-burida se nala-zan
phir kushtagan ka harf rasa kyun nahin hua

karta raha main tere liye doston se jang
tu mere dushmanon se khafa kyun nahin hua

jo kuchh hua wo kaise hua jaanta hun main
jo kuchh nahin hua wo bata kyun nahin hua
