kaun jaane hai ye di kis ne dua jine ki
main ne har sans mein pai hai saza jine ki

dil ke tukde jo liye phirta hun qarya qarya
ba-khuda kaisi hui mujh se khata jine ki

ek to is shahr ka har shakhs hua hai dushman
us pe bhaari hai ye mujh par bhi qaza jine ki

zindagi waise bhi ruthi si chali jati thi
ab to mohlat bhi nahin jaan-e-wafa jine ki

saqiya dil mera lagta nahin mai-khanon mein
mujh ko tadbir koi aur bata jine ki

wo hain betab naya zakhm lagane ke liye
ek ghadi aur mujhe de de khuda jine ki

ai dil-e-khasta tujhe le ke kahan jaen hum
zahr-e-gham ko bhi wo kahte hain dawa jine ki

dil se utre hue bekar hain hum bhi 'barham'
ras aati nahin hum ko bhi faza jine ki
