kab baithte hain chain se iza uthae bin
lagta nahin hai ji kahin lagga lagae bin

jab tak na be-qarar hon padta nahin qarar
aata nahin hai chain hamein tilmilae bin

be-ah-o-nala munh se nikalti nahin hai baat
hairan baithe rahte hain aansu bahae bin

zindan lage hai ghar jo kisi ka na hon asir
aate nahin ba-khud kahin hum aae jae bin

diwane gar na hon to pari-ru na dekhen sair
bigde hai baat haal-e-pareshan banae bin

jumbish na dast-o-pa mein ho be-shorish-e-junun
afsurda-taba rahte hain dhumen machae bin

gar ho na dard-e-ishq to be-dard hum kahaen
kuchh lutf-e-guftugu hi nahin hae-wae bin

kya josh-e-taba ho na mai-e-ishq gar piyen
kuchh kaifiyat nahin hai ye pyala pilae bin

gar bar mein ho na koi to pahlu-tahi rahe
kya baithna hai zanu se zanu bhidae bin

koi na de dikhai to kya khak dekhiye
rahte asir-e-gham hain kisi ke bulae bin

afkar saikdon hon agar ho na fikr-e-ishq
warastagi kahan hai kahen ji phansae bin

qatil se gar na miliye to 'jurat' hamari kya
jun gul shagufta ho na koi zakhm khae bin
