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

hote hote chashm se aaj ashk-bari rah gai

nibah baat ka us hila-gar se kuchh na hua

na darweshon 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

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

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

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-e-falak-e-pir kisi ki

jab kabhi dariya mein hote saya-afgan aap hain

hawa mein phirte ho kya hirs aur hawa ke liye

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

yar tha gulzar tha mai thi faza thi main na tha

na us ka bhed yari se na ayyari se hath aaya

pan kha kar surma ki tahrir phir khinchi to kya

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

mar gae ai wah unki naz-bardari mein hum

kyunki hum duniya mein aae kuchh sabab khulta nahin

kyunkar na KHaksar rahen ahl-e-kin se dur

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

wan irada aaj us qatil ke dil mein aur hai

yar tha gulzar tha mai thi faza thi main na tha

sab rang mein us gul ki mere shan hai maujud

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

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

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

qarun uTha ke sar pe suna ganj le chala
