wada-e-waslat se dil ho shad kya

sabr wahshat-asar na ho jae

sauda tha bala-e-josh par raat

ghussa begana-war hona tha

hum samajhte hain aazmane ko

karta hai qatl-e-am wo aghyar ke liye

ham-rang laghari se hun gul ki shamim ka

hui tasir aah-o-zari ki

wo kahan sath sulate hain mujhe

raaz-e-nihan zaban-e-aghyar tak na pahuncha

aag ashk-e-garm ko lage ji kya hi jal gaya

mahshar mein pas kyun dam-e-fariyaad aa gaya

ai aarzu-e-qatl zara dil ko thamna

adam mein rahte to shad rahte use bhi fikr-e-sitam na hota

Thani thi dil mein ab na milenge kisi se hum
