maqtal mein aaj hausla dil ka nikal gaya
sab apne panw se gae main sar ke bal gaya

manzur dil ka tha unhen lena so le chuke
ab kyon wo pas aaenge matlab nikal gaya

qismat to dekhiye jo shab-e-wasl aai bhi
shikwe shikayaton hi mein sab waqt tal gaya

aate hi fasl-e-gul ke junun ka hua ye josh
diwana un ka jame se bahar nikal gaya

baqi hain baad-e-qatl bhi ulfat ki garmiyan
dil ki tadap na kam hui go dam nikal gaya

un ki nigah-e-qahr se ab kya bachega dil
palta nahin jo tir kaman se nikal gaya

is dar se nala kar nahin sakta firaq mein
mar jaunga jo wo dil-e-nazuk dahal gaya

kanton ki aablon se ghanimat thi nok jhonk
wahshi ka tere dasht mein kuchh ji bahal gaya

sabit-qadam hamin hain na ghairon ko munh lagao
koi na hoga un mein se joban jo dhal gaya

ai 'bazm' mujh se karte wo iqrar-e-wasl kya
wo to ye kahiye un ki zaban se nikal gaya
