khun bahane ka bahana hai bhala mere baad
tin din pan bhi khana na zara mere baad

fatiha padh ke wo rone jo laga mere baad
shor-e-mahshar mere madfan pe utha mere baad

dil-e-ahbab na madfan pe jala misl-e-charagh
phir gai aisi zamane ki hawa mere baad

qabr ko takiya-e-aghosh bana kar baitha
mere qatil ka kahin dil na laga mere baad

karwan mein pas-o-pesh ek hai manzil sab ki
ho gai rehlat-e-har-shah-o-gada mere baad

tukde hoga mere gham mein sar-e-saghar saqi
kat dalegi surahi bhi gala mere baad

na raha bulbul o parwana ko ishq-e-gul-o-shama
nam ko bhi koi aashiq na raha mere baad

us sa mashuq jahan mein koi mujh sa aashiq
'arsh' aage na hua tha na hua mere baad
