usne puchha bhi magar haal chhupae gae hum

badan ko KHak kiya aur lahu ko aab kiya

lahu ki lahr mein ek KHwab-e-dil-shikan bhi gaya

main yun jahan ke KHwab se tanha guzar gaya

tumhaare baad jo bikhre to ku-ba-ku hue hum

hum ek din nikal aae the KHwab se bahar

dil-e-tabah ko ab tak nahin yaqin aaya

barg-e-sada ko lab se uDe der ho gai

raste mein sham ho gai qissa tamam ho chuka

husn alfaz ke paikar mein agar aa sakta

samajh raha tha main ye din guzarne wala nahin

dhund mein Dubi sari faza thi uske baal bhi gile the

zamin par na rahe aasman ko chhoD diya

dil o nigah mein usko agar nahin rahna
