aadmi jaan ke khata hai mohabbat mein fareb

hum bahut dur nikal aae hain chalte chalte

yun sar-e-rah mulaqat hui hai aksar

apni miTTi hi pe chalne ka saliqa sikho

raushni mujhse gurezan hai to shikwa bhi nahin

junun ko hosh kahan ehtimam-e-ghaarat ka

qatil ne kis safai se dhoi hai aastin

ai ahl-e-wafa dad-e-jafa kyun nahin dete

pursish-e-haal ki fursat tumhein mumkin hai na ho

mere jurm-e-wafa ka faisla kuchh is tarah hoga

safar pe nikle hain hum pure ehtimam ke sath

jhuk kar salam karne mein kya harj hai magar

is jashn-e-charaghan se to behtar the andhere

jab ghar ki aag bujhi to kuchh saman bacha tha jalne se

kuchh aise zaKHm bhi dar-parda humne khae hain
