main ne kaha ki shahr mein ek charagh bhi nahin
us ne kaha ki zakhm bhi kya nahin dagh bhi nahin

main ne kaha ki aakhirash mujh ko khuda na mil saka
us ne kaha ki mere pas apna suragh bhi nahin

main ne kaha ki aashiqi us ne kaha ki hae hae
ab wo umang bhi kahan ab wo faragh bhi nahin

main ne kaha ki gul-farosh sare gulab le gae
us ne kaha ki kal talak dekhiye bagh bhi nahin

main ne kaha ki 'shahryar' aap se kuchh malul hain
us ne kaha ki thik hai mujh ko dimagh bhi nahin
