jo parwane ke qabze mein dil-e-mastana ho jae
ba-zor-e-jazb-fitri shama khud parwana ho jae

meri ujdi hui mahfil mein tum ek bar aa jao
abhi dair-o-haram mein khak ude virana ho jae

na aana han na aana tum wahin rahna wahin rahna
kahin bimar-e-hijran did se achchha na ho jae

na puchho haal-e-dil ummid bandh ke tut jati hai
yagana ban ke phir koi agar begana ho jae

tumhein hai ikhtiyar aabaad ya barbaad kar dalo
bahar-surat mukammal ab mera afsana ho jae

ye khuddari ki daulat jis ko mil jae zamane mein
khudi bhule wo hast-o-bud se begana ho jae

mera dil tod kar barbaad karte to hain wo 'alim'
ye musht-e-khak mit kar ek nai duniya na ho jae
