Tha Qasd-e-qatl-e-ghair Magar Main Talab Hua

tha qasd-e-qatl-e-ghair magar main talab hua

jallad mehrban hua kya sabab hua

afsos kuchh na meri rihai ka Dhab hua

chhuTa udhar qafas se idhar main talab hua

tashrif lae aap jo main jaan-ba-lab hua

us waqt ke bhi aane ka mujh ko ajab hua

niklegi ab na hasart-e-qatl ai nigah-e-yas

qatil ko rahm aa gaya mujh par ghazab hua

ho jaega kuchh aur hi rang ahl-e-hashr ka

qatil se KHun-baha jo hamara talab hua

shayad baDhain yar ne mannat ki beDiyan

ab ki mujhe junun na hua kya sabab hua

pinhan tamam zulmat-e-kufr-o-sitam hui

talea junhi wo mehr-e-siphar-e-arab hua

hum Dub jaenge araq-e-infial mein

aamal-nama hashr mein jis dam talab hua

itna to jazb-e-dil ne dikhaya mujhe asar

chain us ko bhi na aaya main betab jab hua

rote the aql-o-hosh hi ko hum to ishq mein

lo ab to dil se sabr bhi ruKHsat-talab hua

ai be-KHudi-e-dil mujhe ye bhi KHabar nahin

kis din bahaar aai main diwana kab hua

shadi shab-e-visal ki matam hui mujhe

hangam-e-subh-e-yar jo ruKHsat-talab hua

bose dikha dikha ke hamein le raha hai ye

kyun itna be-lihaz tera KHal-e-lab hua

kya jaan kar malal diye kab ka tha ghubar

kis roz aasman se main rahat-talab hua

duniya mein ai 'qalaq' jo pur-arman hum rahe

nashad na-murad hamara laqab hua
