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

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

is jashn-e-charaghan se to behtar the andhere

kuchh aise zaKHm bhi dar-parda humne khae hain
