aaina dekhen na hum aks hi apna dekhen
chamka jo tirgi mein ujala bikhar gaya
sahra ka safar tha to shajar kyun nahin aaya
dil-o-nigah ko viran kar diya maine
kaniz-e-waqt ko nilam kar diya sab ne
wo zabt tha ki aah na nikli zaban se
na koi phul hi rakha na aarzu na charagh
kuchh aise kam-nazar bhi musafir hamein mile
rabta kyun rakhun main dariya se
utri hui hai dhup badan ke hisar mein
