ek meri jaan mein aur ek lahar sahraon mein thi

shab ke KHilaf barsar-e-paikar kab hue

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

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

naw KHasta bhi na thi mauj mein dariya bhi na tha

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

kuchh is ke siwa KHwahish-e-sada nahin rakhte

ishq-abaad faqiron ki ada rakhte hain

KHema-e-jaan ki tanabon ko ukhDa jaana tha

ki KHud insan Dhalta ja raha hai

zard patton ko daraKHton se juda hona hi tha

har-chand jaisa socha tha waisa nahin hua

aasman suraj sitare bahr-o-bar kis ke liye

dil ko har gam pe dhaDke se lage rahte hain

shab bhali thi na din bura tha koi
