chehra to chamak damak raha hai

misal-e-aks kunj-e-zat se bahar raha hun main

ye koi dil to nahin hai ki Thahar jaega

guzar gae hain jo din un ko yaad karna kya

hujum-e-ham-nafsan chaara-e-alam na hua

kyun KHalwat-e-gham mein rahte ho kyun gosha-nashin bekar hue

qadam uThe to ajab dil-gudaz manzar tha

hum pe tanhai mein kuchh aaise bhi lamhe aae

naqsh guzre hue lamhon ke hain dil par kya kya

ai mushfiq-e-man is haal mein tum kis tarah basar farmaoge

sitam bhi karta hai us ka sila bhi deta hai

kaam kuchh aa na saki rasm-e-shanasai bhi

kuchh is tarah se tera gham diye jalata tha

gham hi le de ke meri daulat-e-bedar nahin

ye kya tilism hai main usko dekh bhi na sakun
