hum bichhaD ke tum se baadal ki tarah rote rahe

maine kab barq-e-tapan mauj-e-bala mangi thi

koi chehra na sada koi na paikar hoga

kahan main jaun gham-e-ishq-e-raegan le kar

hai dhup kabhi saya shoala hai kabhi shabnam

phir dil ko roz o shab ki wahi id chahiye

dil ke tatar mein yaadon ke ab aahu bhi nahin

shafaq-sifat jo paikar dikhai deta hai

bichhaDte damanon mein phul ki kuchh pattiyan rakh do

tha harf-e-shauq said hua kaun le gaya

har qadam sail-e-hawadis se bachaya hai mujhe

wo baad-e-garm tha baad-e-saba ke hote hue

chhoD kar ghar ki faza ranaiyan pachhta gain

hum donon mein koi na apne qaul-o-qasam ka sachcha tha

hamari gardish-e-pa raston ke kaam aai
