Ab jo koi poochhe bhi toh uss se kya sharh-e-haalaat karen, dil thehre toh dard sunaayen dard thame toh baat karen.

Ab jo koi pooche b to uss se kia sharh-e-haalaat karen,

dil thehre to dard sunaayen dard thame to baat karen.

Shaam hui phir josh-e-qadah ne bazm-e-harifaan roshan ki,

ghar ko aag lagaayen hum b roshan apni raat karen.

Qatl-e-dil-o-jaan apne sar hai apna lahoo apni gardan pe,

mohr-ba-lab baithe hain kis ka shikwa kis ke saath karen.

Hijr mein shab bhar dard-o-talab ke chaand sitaare saath rahe,

subh ki veerani mein yaaro kaise basar auqaat karen. !!
