tadapna bhi dekha na bismil ka apne
main kushta hun andaz-e-qatil ka apne

na puchho ki ahwal na-gufta-bah hai
musibat ke mare hue dil ka apne

dil-e-zakhm-khurda ke aur ek lagai
mudawa kya khub ghayal ka apne

jo khosha tha sad khirman-e-barq tha yan
jalaya hua hun main hasil ka apne

tak abru ko meri taraf kije mail
kabhu dil bhi rakh lije mail ka apne

hua daftar-e-qais aakhir abhi yan
sukhan hai junun ke awael ka apne

banaen rakhen main ne aalam mein kya kya
hun banda khayalat baatil ka apne

maqam-e-fana waqiye mein jo dekha
asar bhi na tha gor manzil ka apne
