phir chahe jitni qamat le kar aa jaana

zaKHm-e-dil aur hara KHun-e-tamanna se hua

muntazir rahna bhi kya chahat ka KHamyaza nahin

kya bhala mujhko parakhne ka natija nikla

hum kyun ye kahen koi hamara nahin hota

ab ke barsat ki rut aur bhi bhaDkili hai

chap aae ki mulaqat ho aawaze se

naqsh dil par kaisi kaisi suraton ka rah gaya

safar bhi dur ka hai rah aashna bhi hain

liya jo uski nigahon ne jaeza mera

nikhar saka na badan chandni mein sone se

wo rokta hai mujhe shahr mein nikalne se

zindagi jis par hanse aisi koi KHwahish na ki

hath aankhon pe rakh lene se KHatra nahin jata

raat gae yun dil ko jaane sard hawaen aati hain
