mujhe be-khanma kar ke pasheman wo na yun hota
agar meri tabahi se use hasil sukun hota

mujhe aasudgi bakhshi thi meri khasta-haali ne
mere honton pe kyon kar shikwa-e-haal-e-zubun hota

dar-e-munim pe jhuk kar sarfaraazi hoti jo hasil
main aisi sarfaraazi ke liye kyon sar-nigun hota

khirad ke samne hoti na ruswai kabhi us ki
agar josh-e-junun waqif ba-adab-e-junun hota

wahi ho ke raha aakhir jo hona tha mere haq mein
ab is par ranj kya karna ki yun hota na yun hota

agar main sahir-e-fan hota apne ahd ka sabir
asar-andaz logon par mere fan ka fusun hota
