dil ka har ek dagh charaghan se kam nahin
jada-e-rasti hi kafi hai
sar-e-ashjar tahrir hawa achchhi nahin lagti
har shaKHs yahan mujhko bimar sa lagta hai
ab kya kahen jo mausam-e-gulshan ka haal hai
chhupi dil mein jo yaad-e-yar hogi
har samt zindagi ka tamasha bhi KHub hai
haalat par nigah ruton par nazar na thi
jhuka sake na mujhe hadse mohabbat ke
ye rang tere shahr ke sahra mein kahan hain
be-irada kucha-e-qatil mein jaana paD gaya
bina dekhe tujhe apna bana kar dekh leta hun
pahle to shahar bhar mein andhera kiya gaya
paDh raha hun nisab ho jaise
fikr-e-sud-o-ziyan mein rahta hun
