tum wafa ka ewaz jafa samjhe
ai buto tum se bas khuda samjhe

pan kha kar jo aae maqtal mein
kya shahidon ka khun-baha samjhe

sar qalam karne ka tha khat mein jo haal
us ka mazmun hum juda samjhe

kab wo talwon se aankhen malne de
jo ki mizhgan ko khar-e-pa samjhe

ho gaya jab qalam hamara sar
apni qismat ka tab likha samjhe

daude kya ho ke khush su-e-maqtal
us ke hum ghar ka rasta samjhe

kisi surat se hum ko aane de
kash darwaze ka gada samjhe

yaad-e-dandan mein jo baha aansu
us ko hum durr-e-be-baha samjhe

chandni par wo phir rakhe na qadam
hum faqiron ka boriya samjhe

teri abru ko jo hilal kaha
mah-e-nau se bhi kuchh siwa samjhe

marun to wo jawab-e-nama likhe
khat na aane ka muddaa samjhe

hath utha kar laga jo kosne wo
wah re hum use dua samjhe

jo hai begana aashna hai wo
hum jo kahte hain koi kya samjhe

hum ko nazron se pisti hain aap
chashm-e-bad dur tutiya samjhe

jab se us kuche mein qadam rakkha
kimiya ko bhi khak-e-pa samjhe

tujh ko o naujawan kaha be-misl
aaj mani-e-la-fata samjhe

hum ne jab dekhi chandni chhitki
teri utri hui qaba samjhe

kasa-e-mah jab se dekh liya
tab se gardun ko hum gada samjhe

apne fahmid puchh mat 'goya'
kuchh na samjhe ye barha samjhe
