zaKhm-e-dil maa'il-e-shifaa na huaa
daaGh seene se ab judaa na huaa

har ghaRee yooN kisee ki yaad meiN gum --
haaye, ab dil bhi baa.vafaa na huaa!

minnateN kee theeN hum ne kitni vahaaN
dar-e-jaanaana phir bhi vaa na huaa

baa.vujood-e-hazaar_haa koshish
dil kabhee 'ishrat.aashnaa na huaa

aaKhir-e-kaar mil gayee shuhrat
ab ke ilzaam kuchch buraa na huaa!

be.asar ho gayeeN dua'aeN meri
goyaa naala bhi ab rasaa na huaa

Gham ka toofaan, dard kee yoorish
kyaa bataayeN kih hum pe kyaa na huaa!

us ki baatoN ka 'eitbaar kise?
us ne jo kuchch bhi thaa kahaa, na huaa

be.niyaazee, subuk.saree, be.dilee!?
kyoN koi aaj be.riyaa na huaa?

'umr bhar reh gayee thi ik hasrat
us ke dar ka maiN Khaak-e-paa na huaa

the mohabbat meiN be.qusoor sabhee
ek 'naadaaN' hi be.Khataa na huaa!
