mubtala ruh ke azab mein hun

ghair ki aag mein koi bhi na jalna chahe

sine hain chaak aur gareban sile hue

lutf se tere siwa dard mahak jata hai

har marg-e-arzu ka nishan der tak raha

lazzat-e-sang na puchho logo umr agar hath aae phir

ek na aane wale ka intizar karte hain

lab tak jo na aaya tha wahi harf-e-rasa tha

mere qarib se guzra ek ajnabi ki tarah

shahr-e-nigaran mein phirte hain hum aawara raat Dhale

kuchh apni baat kaho kuchh meri suno mat so

raat hai shahr-e-butan hai aur hum

jaane kya wajh-e-beganagi hai

har pari-wash ka eatibar karo

maut ka kyun kar eatibar aae
