hum gire hain jo aa ke itni dur

kis shai pe yahan waqt ka saya nahin hota

zamin se ugti hai ya aasman se aati hai

kabhi KHwahish na hui anjuman-arai ki

tham gaya dard ujala hua tanhai mein

KHwab ke phulon ki tabiren kahani ho gain

chashm o lab kaise hon ruKHsar hon kaise tere

udas kar ke dariche nae makanon ke

KHair auron ne bhi chaha to hai tujh sa hona

tere diwane har rang rahe tere dhyan ki jot jagae hue

shabnam ko ret phul ko kanTa bana diya

raushni rahti thi dil mein zaKHm jab tak taza tha

tha mujhse ham-kalam magar dekhne mein tha

ye kahna to nahin kafi ki bas pyare lage hum ko

sham-e-gham yaad hai kab shama jali yaad nahin
