mere wajud ko parchhaiyon ne toD diya

misal-e-shama jala hun dhuan sa bikhra hun

tumne puchha hai to ahwal bata dete hain

KHumar-e-shab mein tera nam lab pe aaya kyun

humne kisi ki yaad mein akasr sharab pi

safed-poshi-e-dil ka bharam bhi rakhna hai

suKHan jo usne kahe the girah se bandh liye

kahin se nile kahin se kale paDe hue hain

mere honTon pe tere nam ki larzish to nahin

KHwab mein dekh raha hun ki haqiqat mein use

guzarti hai jo dil par wo kahani yaad rakhta hun

KHizan ka rang daraKHton pe aa ke baiTh gaya

shauqin mizajon ke rangin tabiat ke

zindagani ko adam-abaad le jaane laga

apne hone ke jo aasar banane hain mujhe
