ye kaun meri tishnagi baDha baDha ke chal diya
aankh mein aansu ka aur dil mein lahu ka kal hai
hain sau tarah ke rang har ek naqsh-e-pa mein dekh
dahakte kuchh KHayal hain ajib ajib se
shaKH-e-buland-e-baam se ek din utar ke dekh
dur tak bas ek dhundalka gard-e-tanhai ka tha
nigah-e-shauq se husn-e-gul-o-gulzar to dekh
zindan-e-subh-o-sham mein tu bhi hai main bhi hun
kahkashan ke tanazur mein hum kya hamara sitara hai kya
bas ek tasalsul-e-takrar-e-qurb-o-duri tha
ghuTan azab-e-badan ki na meri jaan mein la
fitne ajab tarah ke saman-zar se uThe
jin pe ajal tari thi un ko zinda karta hai
badan se rishta-e-jaan motabar na tha mera
ata hui kise sanad nazar nazar ki baat hai
