pesh-tar jumbish-e-lab baat se pahle kya tha
yahin tha baiTha hua darmiyan kahan gaya main
dushwar hai ab rasta aasan se aage
DhunDhta hun roz-o-shab kaun se jahan mein hai
nahin shauq-e-KHaridari mein dauDe ja raha hai
kise KHayal tha aisi bhi saaten hongi
aks ubhra na tha aaina-e-dil-dari ka
chal raha hun pesh-o-pas-manzar se uktaya hua
itna tilism yaad ke chaqmaq mein raha
zara batla zaman kya hai makan ke us taraf kya hai
KHashak se KHizan mein raha nam bagh ka
istada hai jab samne diwar kahun kya
surat-e-sahar jaun aur dar-ba-dar jaun
tham gai waqt ki raftar tere kuche mein
dar khol ke dekhun zara idrak se bahar
