Dil-E-Nadan Tujhe Hua Kya Hai
Aakhir Is Dard Ki Dawa Kya Hai
Ham Hain Mushtaaq Aur Wo Bezaar
Yaa Ilahi! Ye Maajra Kya Hai
Ham Bhi Moun Mein Zaban Rakhte Hain
Kash Pochho Ke Mudda’a Kya Hai
Jab Ke Tujh Bin Nahi Koi Mojud
Phir Ye Hangama Aey Khuda Kya Hai
Ye Pari-Chehra Log Kaise Hain...
Shoq her rang raqeeb-e-sar-o-samaan nikla
Qais tasveer ke pardey me bhi uryan nikla
Zakhm ney daad na di tangi-e-dill ki yaa Rabb!
Teer bhi seena-e-bismil se pur afshan nikla
Boo-e-gul, nala-e-dill, dood-e-charagh-e-mehfil
Jo teri bazm se nikla so preshan nikla
