jo suli ke muqaddar mein rakhe the
hum aise bad-nasibon ke gale the

hamara waqt pura ho raha tha
kisi ke munh pe barah baj rahe the

aziyyat lutf dene lag gai thi
so nakhun se kalai katte the

mohabbat mujh ko kafir kar rahi hai
mere donon farishton ke gile the

zamin sona ugalne lag padi thi
mere hathon ke chhaale badh rahe the

shahanshah jab sitam dhane pe aaya
khuda chup tha magar hum to lade the

koi sundar pujaran mar gai thi
tabhi to dewta roe hue the

koi takhti nahin thi shahr-bhar mein
ki chaurahon pe bas murde gade the
