ye mah-pare to dil ko lubhae jate hain

zindagi ko haram mat karna

maine jis shaKHs ki barson se taraf-dari ki

kaise kaise mere manzar ho gae

qissa tabahiyon ka sunaya na jaega

aap aaen to koi baat bane

husn masum nahin ishq pe ilzam ke baad

apne aansu chhupa nahin sakte

kaha na kuchh bhi daba di gai meri aawaz

charagh jalte nahin hain jalae jate hain

zindagani ki masarrat bhi juda humse hui

chandni ab to khae jati hai

na-jaane TuT ke kab se bikhar raha hun main

rishta-e-dil ko maine toD diya

bhari mahfil mein zabt-e-gham ba-asani bhi karte hain
