jo hona tha hua shikwa gila kya
mohabbat mein wafa kaisi jafa kya

dil-e-mayus ye aah-o-buka kya
shikasta saz ki aakhir sada kya

mere aaghosh mein khele hain tufan
main mauj-e-bahr-e-gham mein dubta kya

jamal-e-barq hai jin ki tajalli
nazar un se milaun main bhala kya

na hushyaron na diwanon mein hain aap
wo farmate hain mujh se aap ka kya

tera wada kahan tak sath dega
qayamat se milega silsila kya

chura lin main ne danista nigahen
bhari mahfil mein un ko dekhta kya

nigah-e-naz ke mare hue hain
hamare samne aab-e-baqa kya

dil-e-betab aur tum se shikayat
ye diwana hai is ki baat ka kya

tumhin ne pher lin jab mujh se nazren
zamana dil ko dega aasra kya

wo khud chahen tujhe ye chahta hai
'wakil'-e-be-adab teri saza kya
