kya dukh hai samundar ko bata bhi nahin sakta

wo puchhta tha meri aankh bhigne ka sabab

koi ishaara dilasa na koi wada magar

mohabbat ke gharon ke kachche-pan ko ye kahan samjhen

main bhi use khone ka hunar sikh na paya

mohabbat mein bichhaDne ka hunar sab ko nahin aata

wo jhuT bol raha tha baDe saliqe se

wo din gae ki mohabbat thi jaan ki bazi

raat to waqt ki paband hai Dhal jaegi

musalsal hadson se bas mujhe itni shikayat hai

kisi ne rakh diye mamta-bhare do hath kya sar par

aasman itni bulandi pe jo itraata hai

isi KHayal se palkon pe ruk gae aansu

lahu na ho to qalam tarjuman nahin hota

aaj pi lene de saqi mujhe ji lene de
