husn ke jalwe lutae teri ranai ne
raaz sab khol diye ek hi angdai ne

rang bhar kar teri taswir mein jazb-e-gham ka
apni taswir bana di tere saudai ne

wasl-e-mahbub ki tadbir sujhai mujh ko
haq-parasti ne aqidat ne jabin-sai ne

hum ne socha tha ki bujh jaenge gham ke shoale
aa ke kuchh aur hawa di unhen purwai ne

shorish-e-dahr ne begana kiya khud se mujhe
aagahi bakhshi mujhe gosha-e-tanhai ne

ek masum se chehre pe raunat ki numud
hae kya zulm kiya aalam-e-barnai ne

gardish-e-waqt ne maikhane mein dam tod diya
jaane kya chiz pila di tere sahbai ne

rukh tamashe ka badal dala achanak aa kar
ek khush-chehra khush-andaz tamashai ne

charkh aapas ke talluq ka ye andaz bhi dekh
kar diya un ko bhi ruswa meri ruswai ne
