aaj viraniyon mein mera dil naya silsila chahta hai
bujhti shama ki surat kyun afsurda khaDe ho khiDki mein
ye sach hai baham uski mohabbat bhi nahin thi
dur tak dasht mein ujala hai
hijr-zada aaankhon se jab aansu nikle KHamoshi se
ye baat munkashif hui charag ke baghair bhi
raqs-e-nairangi hai nazzaron ke bich
hisar-e-zat se bahar na apne ghar mein hain
sham thi hum the aur samundar tha
mohabbaton ki masafat se kaT ke dekhte kya
itni fursat nahin us paikar-e-pindar ke pas
dastaras mein nahin haalat tujhe kya malum
zinda hain mere KHwab ye kab yaad hai mujhko
kitna jaan-soz hai manzar meri tanhai ka
misl-e-bahisht-e-KHush-numa kaun-o-makan mein
