kisi se puchhen kaun batae kis ne mahshar dekha hai
chup chup hai aaina jis ne sara manzar dekha hai

manzil manzil chal kar jab bhi aai lahu mein dubi raat
aahat aahat qatl hua hai qadmon mein sar dekha hai

tu hi bata rukhsar pe us ke kitne til hain kitne dagh
tu ne to ai dida-e-bina phul ko patthar dekha hai

mahfil mahfil jis ke charche gulshan gulshan jai-jai-kar
hum ne usi ke hath mein yaro aksar khanjar dekha hai

larzan tarsan bar-sar-e-mizhgan khun ke aansu hain 'tariq'
sham-e-farozan shahr mein le kar khuni manzar dekha hai
