taib nahin hun be-khud-o-sarshaar bhi nahin
jo is tarah piye wo gunahgar bhi nahin

zindan-e-rang-o-bu mein guzari hai umr yun
aazad bhi nahin hun giraftar bhi nahin

itni si baat hai wo taghaful-shiar hai
gar mehrban nahin to sitamgar bhi nahin

kya puchhte ho aashiq-e-be-dil ki aarzu
jab dil nahin to hasrat-e-didar bhi nahin

bole ki tum ko qatl kiya main ne kis tarah
dekho zara ki hath mein talwar bhi nahin

viran kiya hai yas ne yun bagh-e-arzu
phulon ka zikr kya hai wahan khar bhi nahin

gar doston ke lutf ka qail nahin hun main
lab par mere shikayat-e-aghyar bhi nahin
