hum un ko haal-e-dil apna sunae jate hain
wo baithe sunte hain aur muskurae jate hain

wo baad-e-qatl bhi khanjar lagae jate hain
shahid-e-naz ki shaukat badhae jate hain

khamosh mahfil-e-ada mein dur baithe hain
ghazab hai to bhi wo aaankhon mein khae jate hain

ye infial hai kis kis jafa-gari ke ewaz
ki baat baat mein wo munh chhupae jate hain

samajh hai gaya main kahunga na kuchh khuda ki qasam
sharab aap mujhe kyun pilae jate hain

ye bazm-e-yar mein hai qadr-o-manzilat 'raunaq'
ki aae koi wahan hum uthae jate hain
