ye sach hai baham uski mohabbat bhi nahin thi
dur tak dasht mein ujala hai
bujhti shama ki surat kyun afsurda khaDe ho khiDki mein
aaj viraniyon mein mera dil naya silsila chahta hai
hisar-e-zat se bahar na apne ghar mein hain
itni fursat nahin us paikar-e-pindar ke pas
mohabbaton ki masafat se kaT ke dekhte kya
kitna jaan-soz hai manzar meri tanhai ka
udas sham ki tanhaiyon mein jalta hua
ye baat munkashif hui charag ke baghair bhi
sannaTa chha gaya hai shab-e-gham ki chap par
jab teri chah mein daman-e-junun chaak hua
zinda hain mere KHwab ye kab yaad hai mujhko
misl-e-bahisht-e-KHush-numa kaun-o-makan mein
KHud ko pa-basta-e-zanjir kiye ja chup-chap
