Mam hai’n mataa-e-kuuchaa-o-baazaar kii tarah 
uthatii hai har nigaah Khariidaar kii tarah

is kuu-e-tishnagii me’n bahut hai ke ek jaam 
haath aa gayaa hai daulat-e-bedaar kii tarah

vo to hain kahiin aur magar dil ke aas paas 
phiratii hai koii shay nigaah-e-yaar kii tarah

siidhii hai raah-e-shauq pa yuun hii kabhii kabhii 
Kham ho gaii hai gesuu-e-diladaar kii tarah

ab jaa ke kuch khulaa hunar-e-naakhuun-e-junuun
zakhm-e-jigar hue lab-o-rukhsaar kii tarah

'Majrooh' likh rahe hai’n vo ahal-e-vafaa kaa naam
ham bhii khade hue hai’n gunahagaar kii tarah
