kahin to pyas ki shiddat ne mara
kahin is dasht mein wahshat ne mara

padi aadat kisi ko chahne ki
mujhe meri isi aadat ne mara

wo jis ko aasmanon ki talab thi
use ghar ki shikasta chhat ne mara

nazar mein hamla-awar ki na the hum
hamein to said ki sohbat ne mara

wo jin ke hauslon mein dam nahin hai
wo sochenge unhen qismat ne mara

koi surat pe us ki mar-mita aur
kisi ko yar ki sirat ne mara

bila taftish rab mana kisi ko
hamein 'afrang' yun ghaflat ne mara
