mere kahne se to dil un par mera aaya na tha
aaine ko main ne khud patthar se takraya na tha

jo hua jo kuchh hua meri khata mera qusur
tod kar ahd-e-wafa kya wo bhi pachhtaya na tha

main ne dekhi hai amir-e-shahr ki wo muflisi
daulat-e-duniya thi lekin gham ka sarmaya na tha

hum ne socha ab faraaz-e-dar se dekhen use
zindagani ka koi manzar hamein bhaya na tha

tujh ko hi maqsud thi apne liye kuchh bandagi
warna aadam ne teri jannat ko thukraya na tha
