main ro raha hun jo dil ko to bekasi ke liye

wo nahin hun main ki jis par koi ashk-bar hota

aankh paDte hi na tha nam shakebai ka

yun akela dasht-e-ghurbat mein dil-e-nakaam tha

unki aaraish se mere kaam ban jaenge kya

haTe ye aaina mahfil se aur tu aae

tirgi nam hai dil walon ke uTh jaane ka

ek ek ghaDi uski qayamat ki ghaDi hai

dil ke hote bhi kahin dard juda hota hai

ek maqtul-e-jafa do zulm ke qabil na tha

ro raha tha main bhari barsat thi

ghash bhi aaya meri pursish ko qaza bhi aai

parda raha ki jalwa-e-wahdat-numa hua

ye aah-e-parda-dar aisi hui adu meri

aaina-e-ibrat hai mera dil bhi jigar bhi
