sitam tir-e-nigah-e-dilruba tha
hamare haq mein paigham-e-qaza tha

hua achchha ki wo ghar se na nikle
kise malum kis ke dil mein kya tha

mujhe wo yaad karte hain ye kah kar
khuda bakhshe nihayat ba-wafa tha

ummid-e-wasl ki haalat na puchho
faqat ek aasra hi aasra tha

bahut achchha hua wo le gae dil
bada ziddi nihayat bewafa tha

nahin malum us kam-sin ko ye bhi
hamare dil mein kya hai aur kya tha

na puchho jalwa-gah-e-naz ka jamal
har ek mahw-e-jamal-e-dilruba tha

suna hai mai-kashi karne laga 'hijr'
wo mard-e-ba-khuda to parsa tha
