hisar-e-shahr mila dasht ka maza na mila

suKHan raaz-e-nashat-o-gham ka parda ho hi jata hai

KHwar-o-ruswa the yahan ahl-e-suKHan pahle bhi

main lauT aaun kahin tu ye sochta hi na ho

main to chup tha magar usne bhi sunane na diya

KHarab hun ki junun ka chalan hi aisa tha

nafas nafas hai tere gham se chur chur ab tak

jis se bezar rahe the wahi dar kya kuchh hai

KHud apna haal dil-e-mubtala se kuchh na kaha

KHwab nadim hain ki tabir dikhane se gae

wo kaun dair-nashin tha haram ke goshe mein

jis taraf jaun udhar aalam-e-tanhai hai

meri wahshat ka tere shahr mein charcha hoga

mera zamir bahut hai mujhe saza ke liye

bahut dinon se hai ji mein sawal puchhunga
