yahi nahin ki mera dil hi mere bas mein na tha

jab talak raushni-e-fikr-o-nazar baqi hai

na kisi ko fikr-e-manzil na kahin suragh-e-jada

tu urus-e-sham-e-KHayal bhi to jamal-e-ru-e-e-sahar bhi hai

tu urus-e-sham-e-KHayal bhi tu jamal-e-ru-e-e-sahar bhi hai

kabhi apne ishq pe tabsire kabhi tazkire ruKH-e-yar ke

haal mein apne magan ho fikr-e-ainda na ho

wo be-ruKHi ki taghaful ki intiha kahiye

chaman mein lala-o-gul par nikhaar bhi to nahin

aur koi dam ki mehman hai guzar jaegi raat

dast-o-pa hain sab ke shal ek dast-e-qatil ke siwa

aarzu jin ki hai unki anjuman tak aa gae

chaman walon ko raqsan-o-ghazal-KHwan le ke uTThi hai

mehr-o-mah bhi larzan hain faza ki banhon mein

fasl-e-gul kya kar gai aashufta samanon ke sath
