baiThe to pas hain par aankh uTha sakte nahin

gham ro ro ke kahta hun kuchh us se agar apna

ye qisson mein jo dukh uThane bandhe hain

tan mein dam rok main ba der rakha

nala-e-mauzun se misra aah ka chaspan hua

ai dila hum hue paband-e-gham-e-yar ki tu

yan us gali sa kab koi bustan hai dusra

wan hai ye bad-gumani jawe hijab kyunkar

chheDne hum ko yar aaj aaya

wasl banne ka kuchh banaw nahin

bin dekhe uske jawe ranj o azab kyun kar

kyun na hun hairan teri har baat ka

kyunkar gali mein isko main ai ham-rahan rahun

guzar is hujra-e-gardun se ho kidhar apna

jazba-e-ishq ajab sair dikhata hai hamein
