ye kya hua ki tabiat sambhalti jati hai

dhup ke dasht mein be-saya shajar mein hum the

ye qafile yaadon ke kahin kho gae hote

buniyaad-e-jahan mein kaji kyun hai

gard ko kuduraton ki dho na pae hum

bhuli-bisri yaadon ki baraat nahin aai

dil pareshan ho magar aankh mein hairani na ho

aise hijr ke mausam kab kab aate hain

manzar guzishta shab ke daman mein bhar raha hai

zindagi jab bhi teri bazm mein lati hai hamein

aandhi ki zad mein sham-e-tamanna jalai jae

be-tab hain aur ishq ka dawa nahin hum ko

kahan tak waqt ke dariya ko hum Thahra hua dekhen

nahin rok sakoge jism ki in parwazon ko

aahaT jo sunai di hai hijr ki shab ki hai
