Pher roz-e-firaq-e-yar aaya

pher roz-e-firaq-e-yar aaya
nama-bar aah zar zar aaya

tere jaane se fitna ho tayyar
ba-sar-e-chashm ashk-bar aaya

jhaDa marqad pe mere jab daman
aasman ka goya ghubar aaya

mai se tauba to kar nahin sakta
kya karun mausam-e-bahaar aaya

mara jawega bhag ai naseh
dekh ye naznin sawar aaya

kisi maKHluq ko KHuda na dikhae
jo ki mujh par dar-intizar aaya

is ki bedad ka KHuda de ajr
hath mein le ke zul-fiqar aaya

kahta hai sar jhuka jo aashiq hai
main to ab mail-e-shikar aaya

'afridi' samajh hayat-e-abad
qatl ko tere gar wo yar aaya

peshwai ko is ki ja jaldi
kah ki hazir gunahgar aaya

tujhe 'qasim-ali' KHuda ki qasam
kaise zalim pe e'tibar aaya
