udas sham mein pazhmurda baad ban ke na aa

aam hai izn ki jo chaho hawa par likh do

ye kya hua ki sabhi ab to dagh jalne lage

aks kuchh na badlega aainon ko dhone se

makr-e-hayat ruKH ki qaba bhi utar di

yun bhi kiya hai humne haq-e-dilbari ada

ab mujhse sambhalti nahin ye dard ki saughat

hun wardat ka aini gawah main mujhse

tujhe KHabar hi nahin hai ye qissa-e-kotah

unhen guman ki mujhe un se rabt hai salim
