meri be-zaban aankhon se gire hain chand qatre

ye inayaten ghazab ki ye bala ki mehrbani

dusron se kab talak hum pyas ka shikwa karen

aas hi se dil mein paida zindagi hone lagi

andhera mangne aaya tha raushni ki bhik

rasta roke hue kab se khaDi hai duniya

bad-gumani ko baDha kar tumne ye kya kar diya

ji mein aata hai ki den parde se parde ka jawab

ek jhonka is tarah zanjir-e-dar khaDka gaya

dil ki ujDi hui haalat pe na jae koi

umr bhar ki baat bigDi ek zara si baat mein

ye karen aur wo karen aisa karen waisa karen

wo aaina hun jo kabhi kamre mein saja tha

ek diwane ko jo aae hain samjhane kai
