is tawaqqoa pe khula rakkha gareban apna

jo meri aaKHiri KHwahish ki tarjuman Thahri

bujhi hai aag magar is qadar ziyaada nahin

wo roab-e-husn tha us ka salam bhul gaya

tujhse milunga phir kabhi KHwab-o-KHayal bhi nahin

ruh-e-ehsas hai tahi-daman

wo ek shaKHs ki jis se shikayaten thin bahut

shauq-e-dil-e-warafta ka ek said-e-zabun hun!

jaanib-e-dasht kabhi tum bhi nikal kar dekho

misal-e-sada-waraq tha magar kitab mein tha

hum ajab silsila-e-sair-o-safar rakhte hain

ehsas ke sharar ko hua dene aaunga

thoDa sa muskura ke nigahen milaiye

tum to auron pe na patthar phenko

phul sahra mein khila de koi
