dil-e-wahshi junun ki kaun si manzil thi kal shab
jahan baham hue qazzaq-o-dilbar

chale khanjar gale par aastin par
dil-o-daman pe dastar-o-jabin par

ajab ek shor tha mahshar bapa tha
bahut aah-o-fughan andoh jaani

hazaron zakhm aur ek sakht jaani
na jaane shiddat-e-yalghaar kya thi

nahin malum kya muddat rahi
kisht-e-nigaran ki

khuli jab aankh to
ek tutte nashe ka aalam tha

shafaq-gun tha ufuq dil ka
chaman ka rasta dhabbon se pur tha

aur saba daman mein apne khun ki bu bas rakhti thi
nazara didani tha

aur dil-e-betab ne dekha
lahu se lal hai sehn-e-chaman aur har taraf

bad-rang khun ki lala-kari hai
nagina dil ka sau tukde pada hai

aur har tukde mein koi aks-e-wahshi hai
dil-o-dilbar ki aashufta-sari hai

dil-o-dilbar ki rahon mein
faqat shishe ki kirchen hain
