Shab-o-roz ki fikr hai ke ab poochon usska main haal kaise
Maine toh bewafayi na ki, toh mujhe hai yeh itna malaal kaise

Kaise chorh doon isse yeh illat nahi ne’mat hai yaar ‘Burq’
Cigarette na hou toh sulgaon bad-maazi ka poshida khayaal kaise

Mujh jaise ko bhi ussne jeena sikha diya
Bohat maghroor tha zameen se laga diya

Mera pathar sifat dil kabhi pighla kahan tha
Mujh jaise sang-dil ko ussne rona sikha diya

Yaar sukhan-vari ab har kisi ke bas mein kahan
Usski bewafayi ne ‘Burq’ tujhe shayar bana diya
