ye haqiqat hai meri zat ka nuqsan kiya
main ne jis shakhs pe ta-umr bada man kiya

shahar ki samt naya rasta banane ke liye
ped kate gae aur ganw ko viran kiya

yar dushman se mile sans ko mafluj kiya
hausla haara gaya jit ka nuqsan kiya

aakhiri bar mila pahli mulaqat mein wo
ek hi shakhs ne do bar tha hairan kiya

nind aae bhi ahamir to nahin so sakta
aankh par aise tere khwab ne ehsan kiya
