ishq ruswa sar-e-bazar hua hai kya kya
roz jashn-e-rasan-o-dar hua hai kya kya

tana-o-tanz ki parwa na malamat ka khayal
ji tere ishq mein na-chaar hua hai kya kya

kitne hi naseh-e-mushfiq phire nakaam na puchh
chur aaina-e-pindar hua hai kya kya

teri furqat tera milna to badi baat na thi
kaam jo sahl tha dushwar hua hai kya kya

hum jo us bazm ko thukra ke chale aae hain
hum pe nazan dil-e-khuddar hua hai kya kya

fikr-e-aghaz 'payam' aur na anjam ka gham
hum pe ehsan-e-gham-e-yar hua hai kya kya
