kya kahun dil to giraftar-e-bala hai ab tak
kaun dushman hai jo is ghar mein chhupa hai ab tak

kis ko ilzam dun ai bakht-e-sitamgar tu bata
phul de kar mujhe patthar hi mila hai ab tak

band hai bab-e-ijabat to koi kya mange
ek mera dast-e-dua hai ki utha hai ab tak

kaun hun ye nahin malum magar hun maujud
itni hi baat ka idrak hua hai ab tak

khar to khar hai kyon us ko uthaya main ne
apne hi dil ki murawwat se gila hai ab tak

ho gae mujh se juda sare rafiqan-e-safar
ek faqat dard hai pahlu se laga hai ab tak

koi badla nahin is daur-e-khirad mein 'ahmad'
ek main hun ki jise pas-e-wafa hai ab tak
