jazb hota ja raha hai dil mein dard-e-la-ilaj
kya isi marham se hona tai hai duniya ka ilaj

thi yahi ummid bhi aur chaara-gar ne bhi kaha
aap kab ke mar chuke hain aap ka kaisa ilaj

dil ko na-manzur thi taswir si jhuti dawa
tai hua tark-e-talluq hijr ka pahla ilaj

khud-kushi ka faisla ye soch kar hum ne kiya
kaun karta zindagi ka maut se achchha ilaj

al-madad ai raqs-e-wahshat aaj mar jaenge hum
ai junun is be-sabab tanhai ke tanha ilaj
