gum to hona tha ba-har-haal kisi manzar mein
waqt kahan ruka bhala par ye kise guman tha
ab dard bhi ek had se guzarne nahin pata
dil KHush jo nahin rahta to is ka bhi sabab hai
sitara aankh mein dil mein gulab kya rakhna
dekh ye dil jo kabhi had se guzar jata tha
ajab taqaza hai mujhse juda na hone ka
hamesha ek si haalat pe kuchh nahin rahta
panw uThte hain kisi mauj ki jaanib lekin
do chaar baras jitne bhi hain jabr hi sah len
bas itna yaad hai ek bhul si hui thi kahin
ab dil bhi dukhao to aziyyat nahin hoti
makan ki koi KHabar la-makan ko kaise ho
mujh pe aasan hai kahe lafz ka ifa karna
chaDhe hue hain jo dariya utar bhi jaenge
