hawa mein aae to lau bhi na sath li hum ne
phir ek umr andheron mein kat di hum ne

diye mein zor bahut tha magar na jaane kyun
bas ek had se na badhne di raushni hum ne

utha utha ke tere naz ai gham-e-duniya
khud aap hi teri aadat kharab ki hum ne

wafa mein jhut milaya dilon mein khot rakha
kuchh is tarah se nibhai hai dosti hum ne

dua karo wo kisi dil-jale ki aah na ho
ufuq ke pas jo dekhi hai aag si hum ne

ajib sehr tha dil ke qimar-khane mein
tab uth ke aae ki hasti bhi haar di hum ne

qafas-misal thi 'tariq'-naim duniya bhi
asir ho ke gizari hai zindagi hum ne
