kis se izhaar-e-muddaa kije
aap milte nahin hain kya kije

ho na paya ye faisla ab tak
aap kije to kya kiya kije

aap the jis ke chaara-gar wo jawan
sakht bimar hai dua kije

ek hi fan to hum ne sikha hai
jis se miliye use khafa kije

hai taqaza meri tabiat ka
har kisi ko charagh-pa kije

hai to bare ye aalam-e-asbab
be-sabab chikhne laga kije

aaj hum kya gila karen us se
gila-e-tangi-e-qaba kije

nutq haiwan par garan hai abhi
guftugu kam se kam kiya kije

hazrat-e-zulf-e-ghaaliya-afshan
nam apna saba saba kije

zindagi ka ajab moamla hai
ek lamhe mein faisla kije

mujh ko aadat hai ruth jaane ki
aap mujh ko mana liya kije

milte rahiye isi tapak ke sath
bewafai ki intiha kije

kohkan ko hai khud-kushi khwahish
shah-bano se iltija kije

mujh se kahti thin wo sharab aankhen
aap wo zahar mat piya kije

rang har rang mein hai dad-talab
khun thukun to wah-wa kije
