Fusuun E harf le gaya, tilism E khaab le gaya

Waraq waraq usi ka tha wohi kitaab le gaya

Abhi nigah jhuki na thi, K maiN ne hoNt rakh diye

Sawaal woh na karsaka, magar jawaab le gaya

Mujhe pata tha raah meN chiraaGh jal na paayega

WahaaN gaya to apne saath maahtaab le gaya

FroGh E jism E taazaa se khumaar rang E Ghazaa se

Nasha bahut baRha gaya, magar sharaab le gaya

Meri azal ki tishnagi!! bujhaa gaya wo narm dil

Nishaat E aab de gaya, Gham E sarab le gaya

Tha dekhne meN saadaa dil, magar baRa zaheen tha

Mujhe gunaahgaar kar ke woh sawaab le gaya

Nigaah E imtiyaaz ka shikaar maiN hua ‘Imam’

YahaaN woh khaa de gaya, wahaaN gulaab le gaya
