Zaalim thaa vo aur zulm kii aadat bhii bahut thii
majabuur the ham us se muhabbat bhii bahut thii
us but ke sitam sah ke dikhaa hii diyaa ham ne
go apanii tabiyat mein bagaavat bhii bahut thii
vaaqif hii na thaa ramz-e-muhabbat se vo varnaa
dil ke liye thorii sii inaayat bhii bahut thii
yuun hii nahiin mashhuur-e-zamaanaa meraa qaatil
us shaKhs ko is fan mein mahaarat bhii bahut thii
kyaa daur-e-Gazal thaa ke lahuu dil mein bahut thaa
aur dil ko lahuu karane kii fursat bhii bahut thii
har shaam sunaate the hasiinon ko Gazal ham
jab maal bahut thaa to saKhaavat bhii bahut thii
