Kisi ko na kaise khafa kijiye ga
Ke kis kis se jhuti wafaa kijiyega
Mere saath joh kuch ke karna hai karlo,
Mohabbat ke aur-o-siwa kijiyega
meri iss tabaahii ki khud mai wajah hoon
magar khud se kya hi gilaa kijiyega
yehi sonchte sonchte raat guzrii
ke kis khaab se ibteda kijiyega
ke raaton me sota nahi aaj kal mai
mere khaab se faasla kijiyega
nahi mutmaain dil mera ab talak bhi
mujhe aur thoda tabah kijiyega
muhaajir parinde hai kya kijiyega,
du mausam watan se judaa kijiyega
wohi hijr darpesh hogi wahan bhi
bhale qaid kar ya rihaa kijiyega
abhi dekhne aur rang-e-fizaa hai
ke kyu khud ko qaid e wafaa kijiyega
ye khete hue guzri kal maut mujh se
yun mat zindagi ko sazaa kijiyega
hai zinda ab jis dard hi ke sahaare
ke uss dard ki kyu dawa kijiyega
nahi hai yahan koii mere jaha.n se
Ke kis se izhaar-e-mudaa kijiyega
yehi aik shikwa jo mann me machalta
ke zar.re ko kaise khuda kijiyega
badhae qadam tum ne raah e junoo.n par
Ke taa umr shikwa gila kijiyega
