zabt kar ke hansi ko bhul gaya

hijr ki aankhon se aankhen to milate jaiye

did ki ek aan mein kar-e-dawam ho gaya

har dhaDkan haijaani thi har KHamoshi tufani thi

tiflan-e-kucha-gard ke patthar bhi kuchh nahin

daraKHt-e-zard

qatil

wo

shayad

magar ye zaKHm ye marham

mujhe ab hosh aata ja raha hai

husn kahta tha chheDne wale

KHub hai shauq ka ye pahlu bhi

zindagi kya hai ek kahani hai

teri qimat ghaTai ja rahi hai

chaara-gar bhi jo yun guzar jaen

har tanz kiya jae har ek tana diya jae

kaun sud-o-ziyan ki duniya mein

meri aql-o-hosh ki sab haalaten

maine har bar tujhse milte waqt

sharm dahshat jhijhak pareshani
