زندگی کھنچ گئی مجھ سے ترے ابرو کی طرح

Zindagi khinch gayi mujh se tere abru ki tarah

Apne hi khoon ka pyasa hoon lab-e-jau ki tarah

Woh sitara jo mere naam se mansoob hua

Deeda-e-shab mein hai ek aakhri aansu ki tarah

Shu'la-e-soz-e-daroon sard hua jata hai

Koi samjhaye saba ko ke chale lau ki tarah

Koi deewana uthe khaak urane ke liye

Aaj bhi dasht hain phile hue bazoo ki tarah

Is bhare shehr mein karta hoon hawa se baatein

Paon parta hai zameen par mera aahoo ki tarah

Shabnami haath barhaoon ke khule darwaza

Bin khule phool ke zindan mein hoon khushbu ki tarah

Chahte hain jo Muzaffar gham-e-hasti se farar

Baith jayen woh gaddha khud ke sadhu ki tarah
