yun na qatil ko jab yaqin aaya

dil sarapa dard tha wo ibtida-e-ishq thi

ai be-KHudi Thahr ki bahut din guzar gae

na-umidi maut se kahti hai apna kaam kar

tumhin kaho ki tumhein apna samajh ke kya paya

apni hi nigahon ka ye nazzara kahan tak

karam-e-be-hisab chaha tha

har nafas umr-e-guzishta ki hai mayyat fani

jine bhi nahin dete marne bhi nahin dete

ek aalam ko dekhta hun main

har tabassum ka diya ek tabassum se jawab

duniya-e-husn-o-ishq mein kis ka zuhur tha

maut ka intizar baqi hai

aate hain ayaadat ko to karte hain nasihat

pathra gai thi aankh magar band to na thi
