hai kahan tamanna ka dusra qadam ya rab

ki mere qatl ke baad usne jafa se tauba

sau bar band-e-ishq se aazad hum hue

dil ko niyaz-e-hasrat-e-didar kar chuke

aage aati thi haal-e-dil pe hansi

gar kiya naseh ne hum ko qaid achchha yun sahi

jab mai-kada chhuTa to phir ab kya jagah ki qaid

chahte hain KHub-ruyon ko asad

maine majnun pe laDakpan mein asad

us lab se mil hi jaega bosa kabhi to han

munhasir marne pe ho jis ki umid

maut ka ek din muayyan hai

mujh tak kab unki bazm mein aata tha daur-e-jam

aaj hum apni pareshani-e-KHatir un se

ye hum jo hijr mein diwar-o-dar ko dekhte hain
