khatak ne dil ki diya zakhm-e-be-nishan ka pata
na us dahan mein fughan thi na tha zaban ka pata

sar-e-niyaz jhukane ki khu to paida kar
jabin-e-shauq laga legi aastan ka pata

sitam daba na saka aap ke shahidon ko
jafa mita na saki khun-e-be-kasan ka pata

rag-e-burida pukaregi nam qatil ka
kafan bataega us tegh-e-khun-chakan ka pata

isi qadar to hai sarmaya-e-tajassus-e-aql
ki kuchh zamin ki khabar hai kuchh aasman ka pata

dil-e-tapan tha kahin chashm-e-khunfishan thi kahin
qadam qadam pe mila kucha-e-butan ka pata

asir-e-dam-e-mohabbat se puchhiye 'betab'
kamand turra-e-mushkin-e-dilsitan ka pata
