kyon na jahan mein ho ayan aib-o-hunar alag-alag
dekhte hain ba-chashm-e-ghaur ahl-e-nazar alag-alag

rah mein un ko wahm tha koi na bad-guman ho
aae to sath-sath wo mujh se magar alag-alag

kis ka yaqin kijiye kis ka yaqin na kijiye
lae hain us ki bazm se yar khabar alag-alag

main hun idhar to wo udhar main hun yahan to wo wahan
rahte hain mujh se dur dur aath-pahar alag-alag

ranj-e-firaq-e-yar bhi sadma-e-rozgar bhi
ek dil aur itne gham chahiye ghar alag-alag

un ko ye wahm hai kahin ek se ek mil na jaen
log bahut hain bazm mein sab hain magar alag-alag

hashr ko us ne chun liye 'dagh' gunahgar-e-ishq
tad gai hazar mein us ki nazar alag-alag
