Mere hamnawa teri be-rukhi dil-e-mubtala ki shikast hai***
Issay kis tarah mein kahun fatah yeh meri ana ki shikast hai
Tu chala gaya mujhe chor kar mein ne phir bhi tujh ko sadayain deen
Mere hamsafar tu ruka nahe yeh meri sada ki shikast hai
Tujhe laa ke dil mein bitha diya tujhe raaz har ek bata diya
Tu ne phir bhi koi wafa na ki yeh meri wafa ki shikast hai
Mein chiraag-e-kuhna mizaaj thaa tujhe bijhleyoun ki tallab rahi
Mujhe aandheyoun ne bujha diya yeh meri zia ki shikast hai
Mujhe is tarah na sataoge mujhe zaum thaa ke na jaoge
Mere ghalat weham–o-gumaan hi meri intehaa ki shikast hai
Mujhe koi tujh se gila nahe tu mila thaa kab, kab bichar gaya
***Mere jurm ki hai yehi saza yeh meri wafa ki shikast hai ***
Meri khamoshi ke bayaan ko tu samajh ke bhi na samajh saka
Mere aans’oun ka payaam hi dil-e-benawaa ki shikast hai
Gham-e-daastaan-e-hayaat ke sab hi tazkikray huwe rayegaan
Mere chaaragar tera yeh hunar meri har ada ki shikast hai
Mujhe razmagah-e-hayat mein yunhi kabhi na koi gira saka
Teri khamoshi ki pukaar hi meri ibtidhaa ki shikast hai
Meri jaan tasadduq khamosh reh bhala zour kis ka hawaoun per
***Ke jahaan bhi rukh yeh badal gaeen waheen nakhuda ki shikast hai …
