khaDa hun dhup mein sae ki justuju bhi nahin
rabta TuT na jae kahin KHud-bini se
dil na de sath to gham kaise saha jaega
pahle to na thi itni tab-o-tab ghazal mein
ghar ki surat jo bhi ho us par hirasan main nahin
wo chand tha baadalon mein gum tha
zabt-e-ulfat ka yahi hum ko sila mil jae
masruf hum bhi anjuman-araiyon mein the
na jaane kitni riwayaten munhadim huin hain
raushni ke silsile KHwabon mein Dhal kar rah gae
koi taswir yahan aaina-KHanon mein nahin
dil-e-shikasta bhi tha koi raazdan bhi na tha
jab bhi saman-e-sukun-e-dil-o-jaan hone laga
dekhe-bhaale raste the
tujhse baDh kar nigah-e-lutf-o-ata kis ki thi
