chal nikalti hain gham-e-yar se baaten kya kya

bhed paen to rah-e-yar mein gum ho jaen

ab ke tajdid-e-wafa ka nahin imkan jaanan

dil munafiq tha shab-e-hijr mein soya kaisa

aisa hai ki sab KHwab musalsal nahin hote

is qadar musalsal thin shiddaten judai ki

tujhse mil kar to ye lagta hai ki ai ajnabi dost

guftugu achchhi lagi zauq-e-nazar achchha laga

manzilen ek si aawargiyan ek si hain

usko juda hue bhi zamana bahut hua

aise chup hain ki ye manzil bhi kaDi ho jaise

juz tere koi bhi din raat na jaane mere

mustaqil mahrumiyon par bhi to dil mana nahin

is se pahle ki be-wafa ho jaen

misal-e-dast-e-zuleKHa tapak chahta hai
