ruKH hawaon ke kisi samt hon manzar hain wahi
chup rahe dekh ke un aankhon ke tewar aashiq
chehre makan rah ke patthar badal gae
KHun palkon pe sar-e-sham jamega kaise
chhu bhi to nahin sakte hum mauj-e-saba ban kar
wo mauj-e-KHunuk shahr-e-sharar tak nahin aai
aaKHir charagh-e-dard-e-mohabbat bujha diya
aaThon pahr lahu mein nahaya kare koi
chamakte chand se chehron ke manzar se nikal aae
main ujDa shahr tha tapta tha dasht ke manind
dil mutmain hai harf-e-wafa ke baghair bhi
guzar rahi hai magar KHase iztirab ke sath
sar-e-sahra-e-duniya phul yun hi to nahin khilte
aatish-fishan zaban hi nahin thi badan bhi tha
dilon ke aaine dhundle paDe hain
