KHizan ke chand ne puchha ye jhuk ke khiDki mein

sahil tamam ashk-e-nadamat se aT gaya

tu ne kya kya na ai zindagi dasht o dar mein phiraya mujhe

hawa-e-shab se na bujhte hain aur na jalte hain

naqab-e-ruKH uThaya ja raha hai

raushan hain dil ke dagh na aankhon ke shab-charagh

ab aap rah-e-dil jo kushada nahin rakhte

koi is dil ka haal kya jaane

gham-e-ulfat mere chehre se ayan kyun na hua

miThe chashmon se KHunuk chhanw se dur

KHamoshi bol uTThe har nazar paigham ho jae

aag ke darmiyan se nikla

jis dam qafas mein mausam-e-gul ki KHabar gai

mauj-e-gham is liye shayad nahin guzri sar se

mauj-e-saba rawan hui raqs-e-junun bhi chahiye
