nek-o-bad ki jise khabar hi nahin
shar hai kam-bakht vo bashar hi nahin
vo hain kis haal men khabar hi nahin
sar bhi nicha hai ik nazar hi nahin
haath khali hai mal-o-zar hi nahin
kya uden jabki bal-o-par hi nahin
mai ki babat khayal kar vaaiz
is men nafe bhi hain zarar hi nahin
sharm se tere ru-e-raushan ke
shams bhi zard hai qamar hi nahin
jis ke baais hai zindagi be-lutf
lutf ye hai use khabar hi nahin
raah har dil ko hoti hai dil se
mere dil ki unhen khabar hi nahin
yaar to qatl-e-am kar Daale
tegh bandhe kahan kamar hi nahin
zabt ki nisbat aap ka hai khayal
main huun ashiq mire jigar hi nahin
mere siine ko chiir kar dekho
dil bhi rota hai chashm-e-tar hi nahin
asman laakh baar dushman ho
kya ho barbad mere ghar hi nahin
kaun kahta hai mujh ko saudai
ek muddat se mere sar hi nahin
ham qayamat se bhi hue be-fikr
shab-e-hijran ki jab sahar hi nahin
paanv phailae mast hote hain
fuqara kyunki mal-o-zar hi nahin
vo to mujh ko jalae jaenge
baad murdan bhi umr bhar hi nahin
baad murdan hai hashr ka khatka
meri jaan fikr se mafar hi nahin
murgh be-vajh chikhe jaata hai
ye na bole to janvar hi nahin
zulm par ab hai asman nadim
sar bhi nicha hai ik nazar hi nahin
tauba tauba hazar-ha sharten
kya bataun agar magar hi nahin
phirte ho saikdon nadidon men
tum ko khauf-e-nazar guzar hi nahin
aadmi aadmi hai izzat se
aab jis men na ho guhar hi nahin
kam hai ye zad-e-rah ai ‘parvin’
tum ko andaza-e-safar hi nahin
