phir suraj ne shahr pe apne qahr ka yun aaghaz kiya
jin jin ke lambe daman the un ka ifsha raaz kiya

zahr-e-nasihat tir-e-malamat dars-e-haqiqat sab ne diye
ek wahi tha jis ne meri har aadat par naz kiya

naqd-e-talluq khub kamaya lekin kharch are tauba
ye to batao kal ki khatir kya kuchh pas-andaz kiya

shahr mein is kaifiyat ka hai kaun muharrik kuchh to kaho
jis kaifiyat ne tum ko diwanon mein mumtaz kiya

ku-e-malamat ke bashinde tum ko sajda karte hain
kis ne is basti mein aakhir aise sar-afraaz kiya

dehli mein rahna hai agar to tarz-e-mir zaruri hai
us ne bhi to ishq kiya phir yan rahna aaghaz kiya

pahle udne ki dawat di ta-hadd-e-imkan 'siraj'
phir jaane kyun khud hi us ne qata par-e-parwaz kiya
