ab shauq se ki jaan se guzar jaana chahiye

us manzar-e-sada mein kai jal bandhe the

kya aise kam-suKHan se koi guftugu kare

yun to pahle bhi hue us se kai bar juda

sara shahr bilakta hai

sab log liye sang-e-malamat nikal aae

ye aalam shauq ka dekha na jae

KHud ko tere mear se ghaT kar nahin dekha

chale the yar baDe zoam mein hawa ki tarah

su-e-falak na jaanib-e-mahtab dekhna

KHamosh ho kyun dad-e-jafa kyun nahin dete

nauhagaron mein dida-e-tar bhi usi ka tha

ab ke hum bichhDe to shayad kabhi KHwabon mein milen

ye shahr sehr-zada hai sada kisi ki nahin

jaan se ishq aur jahan se gurez
