mere rone par jo roya aadmi fahmida hai
naseh-e-aqil purana gurg-e-baran-dida hai

main bhi to dekhun nikalta hai ye tinka kis tarah
chaaragar ki aankh mein mera tan-e-kahida hai

tu ne rakkha hai raqib-e-tursh-ru ke dil pe hath
aaj kyon phika tera dast-e-hina-malida hai

khak mein us ne milaya mujh ko ya main ne use
aaj main hun aur ye mera dil-e-taftida hai

zahr kha kar mil gae hain khak mein aashiq bahut
ungliyan hain dekh to ya sabza-e-roida hai

khub aata hai laga lena nigah-e-yar ko
ek se an-ban hui to dusra girwida hai

bahr-e-nazzara chala hai kucha-e-qatil mein 'dagh'
kis bala ka hai kaleja kis ghazab ka dida hai
