ulte wo shikwe karte hain aur kis ada ke sath
be-taqati ke tane hain uzr-e-jafa ke sath

bahr-ayaadat aae wo lekin qaza ke sath
dam hi nikal gaya mera aawaz-e-pa ke sath

be-parda ghair pas use baitha na dekhte
uth jate kash hum bhi jahan se haya ke sath

wo lala-ru gaya na ho gulgasht-e-bagh ko
kuchh rang bu-e-gul ke ewaz hai saba ke sath

us ki gali kahan ye to kuchh bagh-e-khuld hai
kis jae mujh ko chhod gai maut la ke sath

aati hai bu-e-dagh-e-shab-e-tar hijr mein
sina bhi chaak ho na gaya ho qaba ke sath

gulbang kis ka mashwara-e-qatl ho gaya
kuchh aaj bu-e-khun hai wahan ki hawa ke sath

the wade se phir aane ke khush ye khabar na thi
hai apni zindagani usi bewafa ke sath

kuche se apne ghair ka munh hai mita sake
aashiq ka sar laga hai tere naqsh-e-pa ke sath

allah re gumrahi but o but-khana chhod kar
'momin' chala hai kabe ko ek parsa ke sath
