auron ka tha bayan to mauj sada rahe

ek aazar hui jati hai shohrat hum ko

lahu mein rang lahrane lage hain

na aasman se na dushman ke zor o zar se hua

tumhaara hath jab mere larazte hath se chhuTa KHizan ke aaKHiri din the

kahan aa ke rukne the raste kahan moD tha use bhul ja

bastiyon mein ek sada-e-be-sada rah jaegi

chehre pe mere zulf ko phailao kisi din

kabhi raqs-e-sham-e-bahaar mein use dekhte

agarche koi bhi andha nahin tha

soch ke gumbad mein ubhri TuTti yaadon ki gunj

kamal-e-husn hai husn-e-kamal se bahar

jo din tha ek musibat to raat bhaari thi

usne aahista se jab pukara mujhe

ghubar-e-dasht-e-talab mein hain raftagan kya kya
