mahsus lams jis ka sar-e-rah-guzar kiya
sab sitam yaad hain sari hamdardiyan yaad hain
ham-safar koi nahin to shor-o-shar kis ke liye
misal-e-sang paDa kab tak intizar karun
paDa na farq koi pairahan badal ke bhi
KHumar-e-shab mein jo ek dusre pe girte hain
maine ghaTe ka bhi ek sauda kiya
tanhai tamir karegi ghar se behtar ek zindan
mein sochta hun jise aashna bhi hota hai
daricha be-sada koi nahin hai
hijr samundar nahin wasl kinara nahin
kis karan itne rangon se yari kis karan ye Dhang
wo kyun na ruThta maine bhi to KHata ki thi
sham se pahle teri sham na hone dunga
Dubta hun jo haTata hun nazar pani se
