ek meri jaan mein aur ek lahar sahraon mein thi

ek ranj-e-umr de ke chala hai kidhar mujhe

kiran to ghar ke andar aa gai thi

tera rang-e-basirat hu-ba-hu mujh sa nikal aaya

pairahan uD jaega rang-e-qaba rah jaega

ai mah-e-hijr kya kahen kisi thakan safar mein thi

wahi raTe hue jumle ugal raha hun abhi

ek wahm ki surat sar-e-diwar-e-yaqin hain

ishq-abaad faqiron ki ada rakhte hain

thakan se chur badan dhul mein aTa sar tha

maut se zist ki takmil nahin ho sakti

sar-e-niyaz wo sauda nazar nahin aata

shab ke KHilaf barsar-e-paikar kab hue

nishan kisi ko milega bhala kahan mera

zard patton ko daraKHton se juda hona hi tha
