ab tak to kami kuchh na hui dagh-e-jigar mein
hai rang-e-hina jin mein wahi hath dikha de
pyasi thi ye KHud mere lahu ki
kaha jo usne ki kahiye to kuchh gila kya hai
dil-e-sozan-e-ashiq maKHzan-e-rang-e-wafa hoga
thi chaal hashr mein bhi qayamat huzur ki
baDha hai soz-e-jigar ab madad ko aae koi
zindagi ka maza nahin milta
hai yaad josh ye jis waqt ashk-bari thi
gardish mein aaina ho na kyun rozgar ka
kabhi andhere se ghabrae raushni se kabhi
na aarzu-e-jafa ba-qadam nikal ke chal
aag jab zaKHm-e-jigar be-intiha dene lage
mujhko jine se faeda bhi nahin
shab-e-firaq mein ye dil se guftugu kya hai
