Etakaf Mein Zahid Munh Chhupae BaiTha Hai

etakaf mein zahid munh chhupae baiTha hai

ghaaliban zamane se mat khae baiTha hai

wae-ashiq-e-nadan kaenat ye teri

ek shikasta shishe ko dil banae baiTha hai

taliban-e-did un ke dhup dhup phirte hain

ghair un ke kuche mein sae sae baiTha hai

is taraf bhi ai sahab iltifat-e-yak-mizhgan

ek gharib mahfil mein sar jhukae baiTha hai

dur-bash ai gulchin wa hai dida-e-nargis

aaj har gul-e-nazuk KHar khae baiTha hai

kyun suna nahin deta faisla muqaddar ka

nama-bar mere aage KHat chhupae baiTha hai

subh ki hawa un se sirf itna kah dena

koi shama ki ab tak lau baDhae baiTha hai
