rabta tut na jae kahin khud-bini se
dil laraz uttha hai mahaul ki sangini se

hausla hai to sarabon mein utar kar dekho
zinda rahna to ibarat hai khush-aini se

ab sar-e-akhir-e-shab lae ho suraj ki khabar
yun tamasha na karo subh ki rangini se

na burudat thi na hiddat thi ajab mausam tha
chot khaya kiye hum apni hi kaj-bini se

aankh pathrai hui aur zaban gung ki jab
zarf mitti ke bane aur badan chini se

dard talkhaba-e-ehsas mein zam ho ke raha
qatl-gah pat gai alfaz ki shirini se

samne aa ke jo wo hath milae to sahi
mujh ko haul aata hai us shakhs ki miskini se
