mile wo lamha jise apna kah saken kaifi

apne kandhon pe liye phirta hun apni hi salib

tamam aalam se moD kar munh main apne andar sama gaya hun

ana ana ke muqabil hai rah kaise khule

sab nazar aate hain chehre gard gard

koi bhi rut ho mili hai dukhon ki fasl hamein

muddaten guzrin mulaqat hui thi tum se

shab-e-daraaz ka hai qissa muKHtasar kaifi

apni jaanib nahin ab lauTna mumkin mera
