wo aaenge to khilenge nashat-e-wasl ke phul

gul-pairahan rahe ki darida-qaba rahe

rah-e-talab mein aaj ye kya moajaza hua

kaun hamara dard baTae kaun hamara thame hat

mahfilen KHwab huin rah gae tanha chehre

raste mein luT gaya hai to kya qafila to hai

main to tanha tha magar tujhko bhi tanha dekha

kal tak kitne hangame the ab kitni KHamoshi hai

raat kitne na-tarashida guhar bhi laegi

surKHi-e-sham ne yun phul bikhere dil mein

ye aur baat hamein surat-e-gulab lage

jo KHayal aaya tumhaari yaad mein Dhalta raha

aao patjhaD mein kabhi haal hamara dekho

kya kya ba-dast-e-ghaib sabhi ne liya na tha

jurm tera na sahi meri saza KHub sahi
