Khowen hain nind meri musibat bayaniyan

khowen hain nind meri musibat bayaniyan
tum bhi to ek raat suno ye kahaniyan

kya aag de ke taur ko ki tark sar-kashi
us shoale ki wahi hain shararat ki baniyan

sohbat rakha kiya wo safina-o-zalal se
dil hi mein KHun hua kin meri nukta-daniyan

hum se to kine hi ki adaen chali gain
be-lutfiyan yahi yahi na-meharbaniyan

talwar ke tale hi gaya ahd-e-imbisat
mar mar ke hum ne kaTi hain apni jawaniyan

gali siwae mujh se suKHan mat kiya karo
achchhi lage hain mujh ko teri bad-zabaniyan

ghairon hi ke suKHan ki taraf gosh-e-yar the
is harf-e-na-shino ne hamari na maniyan

ye be-qarariyan na kabhu in nai-dekhiyan
jaan-kahiyan hamari bahut sahal jaaniyan

mara mujhe bhi san ke ghairon mein un ne 'mir'
kya KHak mein milain meri jaan-fishaniyan
