karenge shikwa-e-jaur-o-jafa dil khol kar apna
ki ye maidan-e-mahshar hai na ghar un ka na ghar apna

makan dekha kiye mud mud ke ta-hadd-e-nazar apna
jo bas chalta to le aate qafas mein ghar ka ghar apna

bahe jab aankh se aansu badha soz-e-jigar apna
hamesha meinh baraste mein jala karta hai ghar apna

pasina ashk hasrat be-qarari aakhiri hichki
ikattha kar raha hun aaj saman-e-safar apna

ye shab ka khwab ya-rab fasl-e-gul mein sach na ho jae
qafas ke samne jalte hue dekha hai ghar apna

dam-e-akhir ilaj-e-soz-e-gham kahne ki baaten hain
mera rasta na roken rasta len chaara-gar apna

nishanat-e-jabin josh-e-aqidat khud bata denge
na puchho mujh se sajde ja ke dekho sang-e-dar apna

jawab-e-khat ka un ke samne kab hosh rahta hai
batate hain pata mere bajae nama-bar apna

mujhe ai qabr duniya chain se rahne nahin deti
chala aaya hun itni baat par ghar chhod kar apna

shikan-alud bistar har shikan par khun ke dhabbe
ye haal-e-sham-e-gham likkha hai hum ne ta-sahar apna

yahi tir-e-nazar to hain mere dil mein hasinon ke
jo pahchano to lo pahchan lo tir-e-nazar apna

'qamar' un ko na aana tha na aae subh hone tak
shab-e-wada sajate hi rahe ghar raat bhar apna

zamin mujh se munawwar aasman raushan mere dam se
khuda ke fazl se donon jagah qabza 'qamar' apna
