sharminda-e-nigah-e-karam ho ke rah gaya
shikwa zaban pe shukr-e-sitam ho ke rah gaya

he he wo shauq aap ke mushtaq-e-did ka
jo dil mein tis aankh mein nam ho ke rah gaya

anjam apne soz ka ai be-khabar na puchh
ek tir tha ki sine mein dam ho ke rah gaya

hasrat pe kyon na roiye maqtul-e-ishq ki
do-chaar roz aap ko gham ho ke rah gaya

tum ko to ek ye ki na aae magar yahan
shauq-e-visal hijr ka gham ho ke rah gaya

tum ne kiya na qatl mujhe ek roz bhi
ye shauq dil mein tegh-e-sitam ho ke rah gaya

'maikash' ye na-tamami-e-tasir-e-gham to dekh
yani kisi ko shauq-e-sitam ho ke rah gaya
