Hazaron khwaishein aisi keh her khwaish pe dam niklay
Bhout nikly meray armaan lakin phir bhi kam niklay
Daray kiyon mera qatal kiya rahay ga is ki gardan par
Woh khoon , jo chashm-e-tar se umar bhar youn dam na dam niklay
Nikalna khald se aadam ka suntay aye hain lakin
Bhout be'abru ho kar teray koochay se hum nikly
Bharam khul jaye zaalam teray qamat ki drazi ka
Agar is tarah ka paig-o-kham niklay
Magar likwey koi is ko khat to hum se likhwaye
Hui subha aur ghar se kaan pe rakh ky qalam niklay
Hui is dour main mansoob mujh se baada-e-aashaami
Phir aya woh zamana jo jahan main jaam-e-jam nikly
Hui jin se tawaqaa khat ki daad panay ki
Woh hum se bhi ziada khasta teaigh-e-sitam nikly
Mohabbat main nahin hai faraq jeenay aur marney ka
Usi ko dekh ky jeetay hain jis kaafir pe dam nikly
Kahan mea'khanay ka darwaza ghalab aur kahan waa'az
Par itna jantay hain kal woh jata tha keh hum nikly
