ghamon ki dhup mein milte hain saeban ban kar

tu jugnu hai faqat raaton ke daman mein basera kar

abhi to us ka koi tazkira hua bhi nahin

teri nisbat mili mujhe jab se

ashk aankhon mein liye aaThon pahar dekhega kaun

KHudi ki daulat-e-uzma KHuda ne mujhko baKHshi hai

wo jis ki rah mein maine diye jalae the

wo jis ne dekha nahin ishq ka kabhi maktab

har naghma-e-pur-dard har ek saz se pahle

mein iztirab ke aalam mein raqs karta raha

ab to har ek adakar se Dar lagta hai

yun ilaj-e-dil bimar kiya jaega

yaadon ke nasheman ko jalaya to nahin hai

ho nahin pati shairi afzal

main chahta tha ki usko gulab pesh karun
