pahle to ye laga mujhe us par gir gai
phir yun hua ki mujh pe hi diwar gir gai

sincha lahu se us ka dil-e-dagh-dar aur
mere badan mein khun ki miqdar gir gai

hone lagi hai barq se meri mumasalat
kuchh is lihaz se meri raftar gir gai

us ki nigah-e-naz se lashkar bhi kat gae
phir kya ki mere hath se talwar gir gai

phir zindagi ki mauj se kashti hui tabah
jab dast-e-na-rasai se patwar gir gai

main bhi mere nizam se upar chala gaya
wo bhi had-e-nizam se bekar gir gai
