wo bhi kahta tha ki us gham ka mudawa hi nahin

kuchh usulon ka nasha tha kuchh muqaddas KHwab the

na mere KHwab ko paikar na KHadd-o-Khaal diya

KHurshid ki nigah se shabnam ko aas kya

wahshat-e-jaan ko payam-e-nigah-e-naz to do

main kis waraq ko chhupaun dikhaun kaun sa bab

lutf-e-aghaz mila lazzat-e-anjam ke baad

na-umidi ne yun sataya tha

jab kabhi mere qadam su-e-chaman aae hain

subh-e-tarab to mast-o-ghazal-KHwan guzar gai

kise bataun ki wahshat ka faeda kya hai

qalb-o-jaan mein husn ki gahraiyan rah jaengi

KHayal-o-KHwab mein kab tak ye guftugu hogi

bayan-e-shauq bana harf-e-iztirab bana

ishq ke bab mein kirdar hun diwane ka
