tadapta hai teri furqat mein koi nim jaan ho kar
sitam hai pher lena aankh tera mehrban ho kar

zaban-go samne un ke na thi munh mein mere goya
khamoshi kah rahi thi haal dil mera zaban ho kar

main bawar kar nahin sakta but-e-kamsin ke wadon ko
ye hain bachpan ki baaten bhul jaega jawan ho kar

nahin do-chaar tinkon se falak ko dushmani lekin
use zid hai rahe kyon ye hamara aashiyan ho kar

maze se ishq ke ghafil rahe donon ke donon hi
wo mashghul-e-jafa ho kar main masruf-e-fughan ho kar

agar mashq-e-sukhan teri yunhi jari rahi 'bekhud'
tu rang afroz-e-mahfil hoga tu rangin bayan hoga
