iztirab-e-dil mein aa ja kar dawam aa hi gaya

to aaKHir saz-e-hasti kyun tarab-ahang-e-mahfil tha

usi ki den hai gham mein gila nahin karta

rah ke achchha bhi kuchh bhala na hua

kabhi soz-e-dil ka gila kiya kabhi lab se shor-e-fughan uTha

jine dega bhi hamein ai dil jien bhi ya na hum

ai musawwir surat-e-dil-gir khinch

is gham ko gham kahen to kahen sau mein hum ghalat

kis ko mehrban kahiye kaun mehrban apna

muddaten ho gai hota nahin phera tera

kyun KHayal-e-ranj-o-rahat se na hon begana hum

bhar pae jaan-e-zar teri dosti se hum

wo mizaj puchh lete hain salam kar ke dekho

gham juda pesh raha hai mere afkar juda

DhunDhti hai iztirab-e-shauq ki duniya mujhe
