wo to mujh mein hi nihan tha mujhe malum na tha
khun ban kar wo rawan tha mujhe malum na tha

itne majruh the jazbaat hamare jis par
charkh bhi mahw-e-fughan tha mujhe malum na tha

pyas shiddat ki thi sahra bhi tadap jata tha
imtihan sar pe jawan tha mujhe malum na tha

pair to pair yahan ruh ke chhaale nikle
dur itna bhi makan tha mujhe malum na tha

dil bhi hota hai suna karte the har sine mein
dard bhi us mein nihan tha mujhe malum na tha

ishq ke bahr mein ghota to lagaya lekin
baad mein us ke kahan tha mujhe malum na tha

fitna-gar lutne wala sar-e-bazar yahan
itna shirin-zaban tha mujhe malum na tha

husn-e-ulfat ko samae hue sine mein 'nisar'
dil mein ek dard jawan tha mujhe malum na tha
