gahraiyon mein zehn ki girdab sa raha

kab nishan mera kisi ko shab-e-hasti mein mila

aadmi chaunk chuka hai magar uTTha to nahin

suKHan-wari hamein kab tajribe se aai hai

meri judaiyon se wo mil kar nahin gaya

kuchh aisa utra main us sang-dil ke shishe mein

ye faisla to bahut ghair-munsifana laga

ji bahalta hi nahin sans ki jhankaron se

raushni ke rup mein KHushbu mein ya rangon mein aa

aag se sairab dasht-e-zindagani ho gaya

KHud meri aankhon se ojhal meri hasti ho gai

dil ho hassas to jine mein bahut ghaTa hai

patthar mujhe sharminda-e-guftar na kar de

meri soch mujhe kis rutbe par le aai

dida-e-sang mein binai kahan se aae
