hum bhi dekhenge ki aana tera kyunkar na hua
ye bhi ek khel hua fitna-e-mahshar na hua

hum hi the khak ke putle ki hue jal kar khak
ai falak aur koi tujh ko mayassar na hua

wae nakaami-e-qismat ki kabhi halq apna
qabil-e-khanjar-o-shamshir-e-sitamgar na hua

hum na kahte the kiya kar na sada shor-o-fughan
inhin baaton se thikana dil-e-muztar na hua

meri wahshat ne kiya hashr mein hangama sa
chaak sau jae se kam daman-e-mahshar na hua

hasrat us aashiq-e-nashad pe jis ka ye haal
na hua wasl-e-butan aur use dubhar na hua

hum to kahte the dila ji ka lagana hai bura
aakhirash aage wo aaya na ki behtar na hua

aab-e-shamshir tera kaam na aaya apne
dahan-e-khushk-o-lab-e-tishna gulu tar na hua

qismat-e-ghair hi achchhi hai ki har-dam hai visal
hum se to hashr ka bhi wada muqarrar na hua

sakhtiyan thin mere qismat ki teri ulfat mein
pitna jaan ka kisi din but-e-kafir na hua

hain ye saman-e-shab-e-aish ke nahaq tane
kab tum aae the ki kuchh mujh ko mayassar na hua

jurm-e-yak-bosa-e-abru pe kiye do tukde
zulm ye shikwa ye baqi ki barabar na hua

ghar mein jati nahin pahchani teri shakl 'haya'
us pe hasrat ki dar-e-yar pe bistar na hua
