kya sunaen kisi ko haal apna
apne dil mein rahe malal apna

sharmsar-e-jawab ho na saka
bas-ki khuddar tha sawal apna

kis ne dekha nahin hai baad-e-uruj
saya-e-charkh mein zawal apna

hasrat-e-did le chale hum to
aap dekha karen jamal apna

pech-dar-pech gesu-e-mushkin
ja ke uljha kahan khayal apna

dil asir-e-bala-e-zulf-e-daraaz
mahw-e-fariyaad baal baal apna

maut aai na iltijaon se
aur jina hua wabaal apna

hai ye pur-dard dastan 'mahrum'
kya sunaen kisi ko haal apna
