mahfil se uthane ke saza-war hamin the
sab phul tere bagh the ek khar hamin the

hum kis ko dikhate shab-e-furqat ki udasi
sab khwab mein the raat ko bedar hamin the

sauda teri zulfon ka gaya sath hamare
mar kar bhi na chhute wo giraftar hamin the

kal raat ko dekha tha jise khwab mein tum ne
rukhsar pe rakkhe hue rukhsar hamin the

dil-sokhta the chahne walon mein tumhaare
lekin sabab-e-garmi-e-bazar hamin the

kal kucha-e-qatil mein jo tha khalq ka majma
khae hue us hath ki talwar hamin the

ai ishq-e-mizha kaun hamein dekhne aata
aankhon mein khatakte the wo bimar hamin the

turbat mein bhi aankhen na huin band hamari
aise tere ek talib-e-didar hamin the

thande kiye ghairon ke dil aur hum ko jalaya
ek the to mohabbat ke gunahgar hamin the

milte hi lab-e-yar se lab dil nikal aaya
mara jise isa ne wo bimar hamin the

tum ghairon se dar dar ke lipat jate the paiham
kal raat ko nalan pas-e-diwar hamin the

sab raaz tashshuq se bayan hote the dil ke
pahle tere ek mahram-e-asrar hamin the
