tere shahr-e-amn ka kya kahen ki har ek makan juda sa hai
mujhko ek arsa-e-dil-gir mein rakkha gaya tha
ai dard na tham sar aur uTha dil chaaragari ki rah na tak
usne kyun sab se juda meri pazirai ki
shab Dhali meri aur sahar na hui
aapne aaj ye mahfil jo sajai hui hai
hum ahl-e-nazara sham-o-sahar aankhon ko fidya karte hain
shauq-e-warafta chala shahr-e-tamasha ki taraf
wo jo husn-e-kul ki dalil tha wo KHayal aa ke saja gaya
basti tamam KHwab ki viran ho gai
harim-e-dil se nikal aankh ke sarab mein aa
hamari tishna-labi ab subu se khelegi
kab se mang rahe hain tum se
khul gaya KHalwat-e-tanhai ka qissa ai hai
andaz-e-numu kaisa alamnak nikala
