mujh par un ka itab ho hi gaya
jaan par ek azab ho hi gaya

dil mera aakhir ai gham-e-jaanan
tere hathon kharab ho hi gaya

lakh chaha bachae is se khuda
ishq-e-khana-kharab ho hi gaya

ghair ne imtihan de hi diya
be-haya kaamyab ho hi gaya

mai-kade se gaya jo masjid ko
mujh ko hasil sawab ho hi gaya

aap ka aur mera afsana
shahr mein intikhab ho hi gaya

aakhir ek roz wo but-e-kafir
husn mein la-jawab ho hi gaya

us ne ki ghair ki taraf-dari
ye bhi roz-e-hisab ho hi gaya

ghash hai zahid sharab-e-kausar par
us ko shauq-e-sharab ho hi gaya

dekhna nama-bar ki tarrari
ye bhi hazir-jawab ho hi gaya

dushmanon ki murad bar aai
doston par itab ho hi gaya

ek do waqt ke wo milne mein
ghair se be-hijab ho hi gaya

wo na utthe baghair jaan liye
un ka maqsad shitab ho hi gaya

baaton baaton mein 'ranj' 'ranj' un se
aakhir ek din janab ho hi gaya
