ab tu darwaze se apne nam ki taKHti utar

darwesh nazar aata tha har haal mein lekin

suraj hun zindagi ki ramaq chhoD jaunga

mere hi harf dikhate the meri shakl mujhe

sajid tu phir se KHana-e-dil mein talash kar

ghurbat ki tez aag pe aksar pakai bhuk

ye tere ashaar teri manawi aulad hain

kaT gaya jism magar sae to mahfuz rahe

jaise har chehre ki aankhen sar ke pichhe aa lagin

pichhle baras bhi boi thin lafzon ki khetiyan

bagula ban ke samundar mein KHak uDana thi

ek bhi KHwahish ke hathon mein na mehndi lag saki

pyaso raho na dasht mein barish ke muntazir

main tere dar ka bhikari tu mere dar ka faqir

mom ki siDhi pe chaDh kar chhu rahe the aaftab
