shahr ke log jise teri sitam-zai kahen
hum bahar-haal use apni pazirai kahen

tere ahbab hamein ghair samajhte hi rahe
tere dushman hamein ab tak tera shaidai kahen

ye sharaf bhi teri chahat mein mila hai hum ko
tere sab chahne wale hamein saudai kahen

hum sajate hain shab-o-roz tere zikr ke sath
hum qafas mein bhi wahi naghma-e-sahrai kahen

lakh tute hain suron par teri ulfat mein pahad
tere diwane pahadon ko magar rai kahen

tujh ko shikwa hai yahan aa ke tujhe bhul gae
hum bhala kis se qafas mein gham-e-tanhai kahen

hum ne chaha tujhe zindan ki salakhon ke ewaz
ise nadani kahen ya ise danai kahen
