teri mahfil mein sitare koi jugnu laya
lafz be-jaan hain mere ruh-e-maani mujhe de
muskuraati aankhon ko doston ki nam karna
yaadon ke darichon ko zara khol ke dekho
sarma tha magar phir bhi wo din kitne baDe the
dil mein to bahut kuchh hai zaban tak nahin aata
raushni wale to duniya dekhen
kisi marqad ka hi zewar ho jaen
guzishta ahl-e-safar ko jahan sukun mila
is Dar se ishaara na kiya honT na khole
kisi ne dur se dekha koi qarib aaya
kahin jangal kahin darbar se ja milta hai
ab ke is tarah tere shahr mein khoe jaen
mujhe kaif-e-hijr aziz hai tu zar-e-visal sameT le
main andheron ka pujari hun mere pas na aa
