kya jaane tu ne kaun si bedad aaj ki
jo dil ne ja-ba-ja teri fariyaad aaj ki

rahna mudam wasl to malum par miyan
sohbat rahegi mujh ko bahut yaad aaj ki

lo sach kaho bulate ho kyon mujh ko har ghadi
taza koi jafa magar ijad aaj ki

dil ko to kal hi phunk chuka tha wo shoala-khu
han rakh kuchh padi thi so barbaad aaj ki

ek dam mein dam-e-zulf se pakda ye murgh-e-dil
phurti to tu ne aur hi sayyaad aaj ki

mismar phir to kal hi karega nawah-e-dil
kuchh faeda nahin hai jo buniyaad aaj ki

gali di mujh ko pyar se main shad ho gaya
ye zor chiz aap ne imdad aaj ki

kya kya khayal dil mein guzarte hain hai ghazab
kyon tu ne der qatl mein jallad aaj ki

jis baat ka qalaq mujhe ek umr tha raha
'afsos' tu ne phir wahi irshad aaj ki
