taklif miT gai magar ehsas rah gaya

mohtat o hoshiyar to be-intiha hun main

zaKHm dil ke agar siye hote

khuli wo zulf to pahli hasin raat hui

aankhon se teri zulf ka saya nahin jata

duaen de ke jo dushnam lete rahte hain

be-sabab kyun tabah hota hai

darogh ke imtihan-kade mein sada yahi karobar hoga

mai-kada tha chandni thi main na tha

gham-e-mohabbat sata raha hai gham-e-zamana masal raha hai

kashti chala raha hai magar kis ada ke sath

ai saqi-e-mah-wash gham-e-dauran nahin uThta

zaban par aap ka nam aa raha tha

jis waqt bhi mauzun si koi baat hui hai

wo baaten teri wo fasane tere
