jo koi aawe hai nazdik hi baiThe hai tere

jab se juda hua hai wo shoKH tab se mujhko

dil hasan aise gum hue ki sada

but-KHana-e-dil mera kabe ke barabar hai

banda buton ka kis ke kahe se hua ye dil

dil ko kis bu-qalamon jalwe ne hai KHun kiya

naKHun na pahuncha aabla-e-dil talak hasan

tir par tir lage to bhi na paikan nikle

ho zabt-e-nala kyunki dil-e-na-tawan mein aah

gar yahi tere ishaare hain to majlis se teri

kahta hai tu ki tujhko pata nahin kabhi ghar

shaiKH tu nek-o-bad-e-duKHtar-e-raz kya jaane

kar ke bismil na tu ne phir dekha

tha ru-e-zamin tang zi-bas humne nikali

jab dekho hun usko to mujhe aata hai ye rashk
