jab tak bika na tha to koi puchhta na tha
ye alag baat hai saqi ki mujhe hosh nahin
baat karni tak na aati thi tumhein
maston pe ungliyan na uThao bahaar mein
wo bhi hai ek maqam-e-ishq jahan
itne mein aur charKH ne miTTi palid ki
mehndi ne ghazab donon taraf aag laga di
ghaTa zor mashq-e-suKHan baDh gai
hum aise na-tawan wo aise nazuk
mujh aise rind ko bhi tu ne hashr mein ya rab
sunega jab zamana meri barbaadi ke afsane
sham hote hi charaghon ko bujha deta hun
mana ki sitam tum nahin karte ho kisi par
aasra de ke mere ashk na chhin
qurbaten had se guzar jaen to gham milte hain
