khun-e-dil mujh se tera rang-e-hina mange hai
ya hatheli pe koi naqsh-e-wafa mange hai

jo sada deta raha dar-o-rasan tohfe mein
hum faqiron se wahi harf-e-dua mange hai

kya hua hai ki rifaqat ka bharam rakhne ko
mujh se mahbub mera zakhm naya mange hai

shahar mein dhansta hai fitne ki nai daldal mein
kya qayamat hai ki mera hi pata mange hai

kuchh samajh mein nahin aata hai mizaj-e-yaran
jis ko dekho wahi izhaar-e-wafa mange hai

wo to wahshat mein kabhi samjhe hai mujh ko qatil
aur kabhi kucha-e-qatil ka pata mange hai

aql par parda pada hai ki sukhnawar 'anjum'
din ke mahaul mein bhi kali rida mange hai
