chaha tha mafar dil ne magar zulf-e-girah-gir
har mulaqat ka anjam judai tha agar
kuchh der Thahar aur zara dekh tamasha
natija ek sa nikla dimagh aur dil ka
main umr ko to mujhe umr khinchti hai ulaT
hota hai phir wo aur kisi yaad ke supurd
dhup jawani ka yarana apni jagah
nahin khulta ki aaKHir ye tilismati tamasha sa
uTha rakhi hai kisi ne kaman suraj ki
dinon mahinon aankhen roin nai ruton ki KHwahish mein
sust-rau musafir ki qismaton pe kya rona
koi sabab to hai aisa ki ek umr se hain
be-sabab jama to karta nahin tir o tarkash
dar khol ke dekhun zara idrak se bahar
bujhi nahin mere aatish-kade ki aag abhi
