zaalim thaa vo aur zulm kii aadat bhi bahut thi
majabuur the hum us sa muhabbat bhi bahut thi

us butt kay sitam saah kay dikhaa hii diyaa hum na
go apani tabiyat main baghaavat bhi bahut thi

vaaqif hi na tha ramz-e-ulfat say vo varnaa
dil kay liye thori si inaayat bhi bahut thi

yoon hi nahin mashhuur-e-zamana maira qatil
us shakhs ko is fun main mahaarat bhi bahut thi[/b]
