wo mauj-e-KHunuk shahr-e-sharar tak nahin aai
ruKH hawaon ke kisi samt hon manzar hain wahi
dil mutmain hai harf-e-wafa ke baghair bhi
sar-e-sahra-e-duniya phul yun hi to nahin khilte
chup rahe dekh ke un aankhon ke tewar aashiq
hai ibarat jo gham-e-dil se wo wahshat bhi na thi
diwane itne jama hue shahr ban gaya
dilon ke aaine dhundle paDe hain
lafzon ka saeban bana lene dijiye
subh tak hum raat ka zad-e-safar ho jaenge
bhule-bisre hue gham phir ubhar aate hain kai
ghar se be-zar hun college mein tabiat na lage
KHud lafz pas-e-lafz kabhi dekh sake bhi
tez aandhi raat andhyari akela rah-rau
sadaqaton ke dahakte shoalon pe muddaton tak chala kiye hum
