mujh ko ek lutf kī kar ke jo nazar chhoḌ diyā
sauñp kar ḳhāna-e-dil ġham ko kidhar jaate ho
phir na pāoge agar us ne ye ghar chhoḌ diyā
ashk-e-sozāñ ne jalā.e mire lākhoñ dāman

ḳhuun hone ke liye us ne jigar chhoḌ diyā
saath dekhā thā use kal to tere ai majnūñ
aaj us 'ārif'-e-vahshī ko kidhar chhoḌ diyā
