liya jannat mein bhi dozaKH ka sahaara humne

mujhe ab hawa-e-chaman nahin ki qafas mein guna qarar hai

madad ai KHayal-e-mazi zara aaina uThana

ye jabr-e-zindagi na uThaen to kya karen

ab itni arzan nahin bahaaren wo aalam-e-rang-o-bu kahan hai

na kuredun ishq ke raaz ko mujhe ehtiyat-e-kalam hai

yun subuk-dosh hun jine ka bhi ilzam nahin

har laghzish-e-hayat par itra raha hun main

achchha qisas lena phir aah-e-atishin se

aankhon mein aaj aansu phir DabDaba rahe hain

qismat se laDti hain nigahen

miTa sa harf hun bigDi hui si baat hun main

wo zakat-e-daulat-e-sabr bhi mere chand ashkon ke nam se

ashk-e-hasrat mein kyun lahu hai abhi

be-samjhe-bujhe mohabbat ki ek kafir ne iman liya
