hijr ki aankhon se aankhen to milate jaiye

ajab ek taur hai jo hum sitam ijad rakhen

aap apna ghubar the hum to

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

ye paiham talKH-kaami si rahi kya

aadmi waqt par gaya hoga

ruh pyasi kahan se aati hai

kis se izhaar-e-muddaa kije

zikr bhi us se kya bhala mera

dil jo ek jae thi duniya hui aabaad usMein

kabhi kabhi to bahut yaad aane lagte ho

furqat mein waslat barpa hai allah-hu ke baade mein

zabt kar ke hansi ko bhul gaya

sham thi aur barg-o-gul shal the magar saba bhi thi

wo jo tha wo kabhi mila hi nahin
