jaan aankhon mein rahi ji se guzarne na diya
achchhi didar ki hasrat thi ki marne na diya

kya qayamat hai sitamgar bhari mahfil mein
dil chura kar teri duzdida nazar ne na diya

muddaton kashmakash-e-yas-o-tamanna mein rahe
gham ne jine na diya shauq ne marne na diya

nakhuda ne mujhe daldal mein phansae rakkha
dub marne na diya par utarne na diya

koi to baat hai jo ghair ke aage us ne
shikwa kaisa ki mujhe shukr bhi karne na diya

khak aaram ki khwahish ho watan se bahar
jab hamein chain 'tapish' apne hi ghar ne na diya
