jaadu thi sehr thi bala thi
zalim ye tiri nigah kya thi
kidhar hai kahan hai khush-dili tu
ham se bhi kabhu tu ashna thi
shirin bhi tujhi si thi sitamgar
laila bhi agarche bevafa thi
farhad pe is qadar na tha zulm
majnun pe na ye ghazab jafa thi
maara hai ‘bayan’ ko jin ne ai shokh
kya janiye kaun si ada thi
