kya jaane kis khumar mein kis josh mein gira
wo phal shajar se jo meri aaghosh mein gira

kuchh daere se ban gae sath-e-khayal par
jab koi phul saghar-e-mai-nosh mein gira

baqi rahi na phir wo sunahri lakir bhi
tara jo tut kar shab-e-khamosh mein gira

udta raha to chand se yara na tha mera
ghayal hua to wadi-e-gul-posh mein gira

be-abru na thi koi laghzish meri 'qatil'
main jab gira jahan bhi gira hosh mein gira
