ye kaisi baat mera mehrban bhul gaya

kitna DhunDa use jab ek ghazal aur kahi

ba-faiz-e-agahi ye kya azab dekh liya

tahayyur hai bala ka ye pareshani nahin jati

yahan jo zaKHm milte hain wo silte hain yahin mere

hum apne zauq-e-safar ko safar sitara karen

chahe tu shauq se mujhe wahshat-e-dil shikar kar

badal chuke hain sab agli riwayaton ke nisab

kar-e-hunar sanwarne walon mein aaega

sitamgaron se Darun chup rahun nibah karun

mere junun ko hawas mein shumar kar lega

kaho kya mehrban na-mehrban taqdir hoti hai

dastar-e-hunar baKHshish-e-darbar nahin hai

bite hue lamhat ko pahchan mein rakhna

jab tak fasil-e-jism ka dar khul na jaega
