zulf suljhai un ki shane se
mujh se bigde isi bahane se

dil hi qabu se mere jata hai
baz aaya main dil lagane se

likkha taqdir ka are nadan
kahin mitta bhi hai mitane se

mil gae dil ko dagh-ha-e-diram
khusraw-e-ishq ke khazane se

shab ko mahfil mein dekh kar mujh ko
uth gaya nind ke bahane se

kya milega falak tujhe batla
bekason ke are satane se

dekh kar raat-din ki nairangi
aa gaya tang main zamane se

dar-ba-dar phirte kis liye lekin
sab hain na-chaar aab-o-dane se

apne qatil ke ru-ba-ru 'khanjar'
modna munh na sar jhukane se
