dast-e-pur-khun ko kaf-e-dast-e-nigaran samjhe
qatl-gah thi jise ham mahfil-e-yaran samjhe
kuchh bhi daman men nahin khar-e-malamat ke siva
ai junun ham bhi kise ku-e-baharan samjhe
tuute dhage hi se karte hain rafu chak-e-jigar
kaun bechargi-e-sina-figaran samjhe
haan vo bedard to begana hi achchha yaaro
jo na tauqir-e-gham-e-dard-gusaran samjhe
khanda-zan us pe rahe halqa-e-zanjir-e-junun
jo na kuchh manzilat-e-silsila-daran samjhe
aaj se ham ne bhi zakhmon ko tabassum jaana
razm ko bazm-gah-e-lala-ezaran samjhe
tod den ham jo na talvar to kahiye ‘majruh’
tegh-zan kya hunar-e-zakhm-shiaran samjhe
