apnon se murawwat ka taqaza nahin karte

jaane kis kis ki tawajjoh ka tamasha dekha

aa dil mein tujhe kahin chhupa lun

dil us se laga jis se ruTha bhi nahin jata

zindagi tujh pe giran hai tu marega kaise

dil talabgar-e-tamasha kyun tha

hasil-e-intizar kuchh bhi nahin

aish-e-duniya ka jab shumar na tha

dil saKHt niDhaal ho gaya hai

but bane rah takoge kab tak

be-nashsha bahak raha hun kab se

aao ki abhi chhanw sitaron ki ghani hai

bazm sanwarun ghazlen gaun

wo pas aae aas bane aur palaT gae

rasm-e-girya bhi uTha di humne
