Dal di pairon mein us shaKHs ke zanjir yahan

aatish-e-ishq se bachiye ki yahan humne bhi

ho pae kisi ke hum bhi kahan yun koi hamara bhi na hua

kuchh tu hi bata aaKHir kyun-kar tere bandon par

ab is tarah bhi riwayat se inhiraf na kar

mohmal hai na jaanen to, samjhen to wazahat hai

umr bhar khul nahin pate hain rumuz-o-asrar

miThi baaten, kabhi talKH lahje ke tir

tere bin hayat ki soch bhi gunah thi

baaton se phul jhaDte the lekin KHabar na thi
