saa.e chamak rahe the siyāsat kī baat thī
āñkheñ khulīñ to sub.h ke parde meñ raat thī
maiñ to samajh rahā thā ki mujh par hai mehrbāñ
dīvār kī ye chhāñv to sūraj ke saath thī
kis darja haul-nāk hai yaaro shu.ūr-e-zāt
kitnī hasīn pahle yahī kā.enāt thī
terī jafā to morid-e-ilzām thī na hai
merī vafā bhī koshish-e-takmīl-e-zāt thī
