dikhana paDega mujhe zaKHm-e-dil

sada ek hi ruKH nahin naw chalti

gul-o-gulchin ka gila bulbul-e-KHush-lahja na kar

uske jate hi ye kya ho gai ghar ki surat

be-qarari thi sab ummid-e-mulaqat ke sath

jaanwar aadmi farishta KHuda

hoti nahin qubul dua tark-e-ishq ki

usne achchha hi kiya haal na puchha dil ka

yaran-e-tez-gam ne mahmil ko ja liya

tazkira dehli-e-marhum ka ai dost na chheD

humne awwal se paDhi hai ye kitab aaKHir tak

munh kahan tak chhupaoge humse

yahi hai ibaadat yahi din o iman

humne har adna ko aala kar diya

ishq sunte the jise hum wo yahi hai shayad
