kyuun mira haal qissa-khvan se suno
ye kahani miri zaban se suno
gham hi gham hai mire fasane men
dukh hi dukh hai use jahan se suno
mujh se puchho tum apne ji ka haal
raaz ki baat raz-dan se suno
gham mire dil men tum ho parde men
sach to hai tum use kahan se suno
chhup gaya hai fasana-e-‘bekhud’
kabhi tum bhi to qissa-khvan se suno
