tumhein aisa be-rahm jaana na tha
gharaz kya kahen dil lagana na tha

agar us gali se nikalte to phir
do aalam mein apna thikana na tha

liya imtihan-e-wafa hi mein ji
hamein yan talak aazmana na tha

wo tha kaun sa tera tir-e-sitam
ki main aah us ka nishana na tha

kiya kis ki aankhon ne 'rasikh' pe sehr
wo aage to aisa diwana na tha
