nigah-e-shauq ki hairaniyon ko kya kahiye
dagh-e-dil se bhi raushni na mili
mahfil mein chaar chand lagane ke bawajud
dosti KHwab hai aur KHwab ki tabir bhi hai
kaho to kyun hai ye banna-sanwarna
baham ek muKHtasar se dil mein hain shadi o gham donon
kuchh itne diye hasrat-e-didar ne dhoke
chale jaiye mujhse daman bacha kar
na KHuda hi mila na visal-e-sanam na idhar ke hue na udhar ke hue
rah par un ko laga lae to hain baaton mein
hamein to sham-e-gham mein kaTni hai zindagi apni
hairan hue na the jo tasawwur mein bhi kabhi
raat KHwab mein maine apni maut dekhi thi
karam ki tawaqqo to kya tum se hogi
wahi qatil wahi shahid wahi munsif Thahre
