muddai khud hai khun-e-bismil ki
uf wo nichi nigah qatil ki

tum ne kyon naz se mujhe dekha
ab mujhi par nazar hai mahfil ki

mere rone pe ro diye wo bhi
bad-gumani nikal gai dil ki

ai zahe dil ki un ki khalwat mein
yaad hoti rahi mere dil ki

tujh se milne se ai sarapa naz
wahshaten aur badh gain dil ki

khak chhutega ishq ab 'maikash'
ibtida hi bigad gai dil ki
