hua jo un ki khamoshi se kuchh malal mujhe
jawab dene lagi taqat-e-sawal mujhe

kisi ke dil se kisi ki nazar se girta hun
sanbhaalna hai to ai aasman sambhaal mujhe

umid-e-bosa hai phir bhi agarche ye hai yaqin
bahut zalil karega mera sawal mujhe

sada-e-nala shab-e-wasl bhi na dil se gai
pukarti thi ye hasrat meri nikal mujhe

pila de bazm mein saqi use sharab itni
wo mast-e-naz kahe mujh se tu sanbhaal mujhe

shikayaton se mohabbat ki aur kya hasil
kuchh infial tumhein ho kuchh infial mujhe

asir-e-halqa-e-kakul na main hua ai 'dagh'
mere khuda ne bachaya hai baal-baal mujhe
