tabir se mahrum tere KHwab bahut the
shah-e-alam ko sar-e-am suna baiTha hun
lage jab pyas to rista lahu pine nahin deta
jaisi nigah thi teri waisa fusun hua
kabhi na aasuda-e-amal ho magar irada bhi kam nahin hai
pala hun nafrat ki aandhiyon mein magar mohabbat se munh na moDun
koi pahle to koi baad mein ayyar hua
lagta hai zinda rahne ki hasrat gai nahin
zamane ke darbar mein dast-basta hua hai
jo rabt meri teri nabz Dubne tak hai
ghulam ki rose o shab ghulami mein kya kami thi
goshmali se kab unhon ne asar liya tha
ek daere ki shakl mein khincha hua hisar
