Usey bana kar ghazal main subh-o-sham likhta raha,
Haqeeqat ki har gari main usey salam likhta raha
Wo meri muhabat ko mera junoon samajh betha,
Main naam-e-muhabat ko baar baar likhta raha
Kar lo iqrar-e-dil'lagi mujh se ye kaha us se main ne,
Ajab shakhs tha mujhe hi bewafa likhta raha
Uski aarzu ye thi k bhool jao mujhe,
Main har deewar par ishq ki inteha likhta raha
Zulm sehna hi tou ishq ki meraj hai,
Wo badnaam kar raha main nadaan likhta raha.
