gunah ke tund-o-tez shoalon se ruuh meri bhadak rahi thi
havas ki sunsan vadiyon men miri javani bhatak rahi thi
miri javani ke din guzarte the vahshat-alud ishraton men
miri javani ke mai-kadon men gunah ki mai chhalak rahi thi
mire harim-e-gunah men ishq devta ka guzar nahin tha
mire fareb-e-vafa ke sahra men hur-e-ismat bhatak rahi thi
mujhe khas-e-na-tavan ke manind zauq-e-isyan baha raha tha
gunah ki mauj-e-fitna-saman utha utha kar patak rahi thi
shabab ke avvalin dinon men tabah o afsurda ho chuke the
mire gulistan ke phuul jin se faza-e-tifli mahak rahi thi
gharaz javani men ahrman ke tarab ka saman ban gaya main
gunah ki alaishon men luthda hua ik insan ban gaya main
mohabbat
aur ab ki teri mohabbat-e-sarmadi ka bada-gusar huun main
havas-parasti ki lazzat-e-be-sabat se sharmsar huun main
miri bahimana khvahishon ne farar ki raah li hai dil se
aur un ke badle ik arzu-e-salim se ham-kanar huun main
dalil-e-rah-e-vafa bani hain ziya-e-ulfat ki paak kirnen
phir apne firdaus-e-gum-shuda ki talash men rah-sipar huun main
hua huun bedar kaanp kar ik muhib khvabon ke silsile se
aur ab numud-e-sahar ki khatir sitam-kash-e-intizar huun main
bahar-e-taqdis-e-javedan ki mujhe phir ik baar aarzu hai
phir ek pakiza zindagi ke liye bahut be-qarar huun main
mujhe mohabbat ne maasiyat ke jahannamon se bacha liya hai
mujhe javani ki tira-o-tar pastiyon se utha liya hai
