sang-o-shisha dar-o-diwar ke chehre dekhe
hum ne aksar rasan-o-dar ke chehre dekhe

khud hatheli pe uthae hue apne sar ko
sar pe latki hui talwar ke chehre dekhe

apne be-chehra tabassum ko muqayyad kar ke
hum ne yusuf ke kharidar ke chehre dekhe

qatl khud ko kai qiston mein kiya hai hum ne
qatilon mein bhi agar pyar ke chehre dekhe

hum ne yaadon ke dorahe pe sada mein ghir kar
kabhi dushman kabhi gham-khwar ke chehre dekhe

tishnagi lab pe samete hue sahra ki tarah
hum ne saqi-e-tarahdar ke chehre dekhe

aaftabon se bhare shahr mein kajlae hue
hum ne phir subh ke aasar ke chehre dekhe

sade auraq pe bikhra ke khud apna hi wajud
hum ne apne dil-e-be-kar ke chehre dekhe
