ye mahshar-e-soz-o-saz kya hai
aakhir mera imtiyaz kya hai

dil mahw-e-sada-e-dard kyun hai
ye arz-e-hunar-gudaz kya hai

mafhum-e-nawa-e-raaz kya tha
aawaz-e-shikast-e-saz kya hai

darta hun ki apna gham na ho jae
apne se ye ehtiraaz kya hai

pa kar bhi tujhe main sochta hun
mitne ka mere jawaz kya hai

ab tu jo mila to main nahin hun
mujh se tera imtiyaz kya hai

kis kis ko bhula chuka hun ai gham
ye be-dili-e-niyaz kya hai

akasr to tera bura bhi chaha
kya jaaniye khud pe naz kya hai
