baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi

 

lagta nahin hai dil mera ujDe dayar mein

 

bhari hai dil mein jo hasrat kahun to kis se kahun

 

ya mujhe afsar-e-shahana banaya hota

 

nahin ishq mein is ka to ranj hamein ki qarar o shakeb zara na raha

 

mohabbat chahiye baham hamein bhi ho tumhein bhi ho

 

hum ye to nahin kahte ki gham kah nahin sakte

 

dekho insan KHak ka putla bana kya chiz hai

 

jigar ke TukDe hue jal ke dil kabab hua

 

itna na apne jame se bahar nikal ke chal

 

shamshir-e-barhana mang ghazab baalon ki mahak phir waisi hi

 

kya kuchh na kiya aur hain kya kuchh nahin karte

 

kafir tujhe allah ne surat to pari di

 

nibah baat ka us hila-gar se kuchh na hua

 

hote hote chashm se aaj ashk-bari rah gai

 

na durweshon ka KHirqa chahiye na taj-e-shahana

 

wo sau sau aTkhaTon se ghar se bahar do qadam nikle

 

ishq to mushkil hai ai dil kaun kahta sahl hai

 

main hun aasi ki pur-KHata kuchh hun

 

humne teri KHatir se dil-e-zar bhi chhoDa

 

galiyan tanKHwah Thahri hai agar baT jaegi

 

wan rasai nahin to phir kya hai

 

TukDe nahin hain aansuon mein dil ke chaar panch

 

dekh dil ko mere o kafir-e-be-pir na toD

 

gai yak-ba-yak jo hawa palaT nahin dil ko mere qarar hai

 

ye qissa wo nahin tum jis ko qissa-KHwan se suno

 

hijr ke hath se ab KHak paDe jine mein

 

zulf jo ruKH par tere ai mehr-e-talat khul gai

 

hai dil ko jo yaad aai falak-e-pir kisi ki

 

jab kabhi dariya mein hote saya-afgan aap hain

 

hawa mein phirte ho kya hirs aur hawa ke liye

 

pan kha kar surma ki tahrir phir khinchi to kya

 

na do dushnam hum ko itni bad-KHui se kya hasil

 

na us ka bhed yari se na ayyari se hath aaya

 

yar tha gulzar tha mai thi faza thi main na tha

 

yan KHak ka bistar hai gale mein kafni hai

 

tufta-jaanon ka ilaj ai ahl-e-danish aur hai

 

waqif hain hum ki hazrat-e-gham aise shaKHs hain

 

KHwah kar insaf zalim KHwah kar bedad tu

 

kyunki hum duniya mein aae kuchh sabab khulta nahin

 

mar gae ai wah unki naz-bardari mein hum

 

kya kahun dil mail-e-zulf-e-dota kyunkar hua

 

kyunkar na KHaksar rahen ahl-e-kin se dur

 

wan irada aaj us qatil ke dil mein aur hai

 

sab rang mein us gul ki mere shan hai maujud

 

pan ki surKHi nahin lab par but-e-KHun-KHwar ke

 

shane ki har zaban se sune koi laf-e-zulf

 

qarun uTha ke sar pe suna ganj le chala

 

na daim gham hai ne ishrat kabhi yun hai kabhi wun hai

 

yar tha gulzar tha mai thi faza thi main na tha
