kisi ki bazm-e-tarab mein hayat baTti thi

faza tabassum-e-subh-e-bahaar thi lekin

waqt-e-ghurub aaj karamat ho gai

tujhse hijab kya magar ai ham-nashin na puchh

tera visal baDi chiz hai magar ai dost

aankh chura raha hun main apne hi shauq-e-did se

ishq abhi se tanha tanha

aaj aaghosh mein tha aur koi

shakl insan ki ho chaal bhi insan ki ho

fareb-e-ahd-e-mohabbat ki sadgi ki qasam

hazar bar zamana idhar se guzra hai

kuchh qafas ki tiliyon se chhan raha hai nur sa

ek rangini zahir hai gulistan mein agar

mazi ke samundar mein aksar yaadon ke jazire milte hain

uTThi hai chashm-e-saqi-e-mai-KHana bazm par
