ai kahkashan guzar ke teri rahguzar se hum
kohsaron mein nahin hai ki bayaban mein nahin
ashk aaya aankh mein jalta hua
dil ke makan mein aankh ke aangan mein kuchh na tha
adib tha na main koi baDa sahafi tha
ye daur kaisa hai ya-ilahi ki dost dushman se kam nahin hai
zamzama-e-ah-o-fughan dur tak
hui dil TuTne par is tarah dil se fughan paida
mere zaKHm-e-jigar ko zaKHm-e-daman-dar hona tha
gulzar mein ek phul bhi KHandan to nahin hai
bashar ki zat mein shar ke siwa kuchh aur nahin
tohfa-e-gham bhi mila dard ki saughat ke baad
wo barq ka ho ki maujon ke pech-o-tab ka rang
na sanam-kadon ki hai justuju na KHuda ke ghar ki talash hai
bata ai zindagi tere parastaron ne kya paya
